Worth County’s music program got bigger this year with a Junior High Choir formed this year, along with an honors music society. A Fall Fun Concert to showcase the new choir along with selections from some of the older students was held Tuesday.
Starting off the Junior High portion of the concert was “Glory Bound,” the popular gospel song. “Light Shine Bright” was next, with a solo portion performed by Calli Mancuso and a rap line performed by Jazmine Brooks, Jace Cousatte, Jackson Smith, and Tanner Ridge. Next, Alex Rinehart directed the rest of the group with various body movements in “The Dum Dum Song.”
The older students performed some songs as well. Riley Drury performed “Get Back Up Again,” with the Junior High Choir accompanying. Merrideth Spiers sang the popular gospel song “Hallelujah.” Jeremy Wimer put on his George Straight act and sang “Amarillo by Morning.” Trent Gabriel then sang the popular Garth Brooks tune “The Thunder Rolls.” Worth County Class of 2017 grad Jacob Wimer came back to accompany Jeremy in a duet of George Straight’s “Baby Blue,” about his daughter who was prematurely killed in a car wreck.
Olivia Kanak performed “Colors of the Wind” from the movie “Pocohantas.” Grace Gibson and Bailee Walker sang “Part of Your World” from “The Little Mermaid,” the popular kids movie. A.J. Drury sang the hilarious “Shiny,” about being a clam. Keelin Engel sang, “Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again,” from “Phantom of the Opera.” Riley Drury played the part of an author stressing out about her work in “Watch What Happens.” Finally, Justina Wimer sang “How Far I’ll Go” with Keelin Engel providing dance accompaniment.
Justina Wimer and Riley Drury worked on the flats for the show. Mrs. Cook and Mrs. O’Connor loaned supplies for the show. Darrin and Nancy Drury were in charge of lights and sound. Jackson Smith opened and closed the curtain. Amy Garrett and April Healy provided technical support.
