SOMS Students Perform Music Assembly at W.O.S.

On Friday, February 4, William O. Schaefer students were treated to an assembly given by the SOMS Band under the direction of Mrs. Janice Tocco and the Chamber Orchestra, led by Mr. Matthew Rotjan.

Students and teachers enjoyed hearing the SOMS Band play the Best of Journey: Don’t Stop Believin’, Separate Ways, Open Ways and Any Way You Want It – this took a lot of teachers back in time! The Chamber Orchestra played the beautiful “Allegro” by an Italian composer, J.H. Fiocco.

The band and orchestra demonstrated each instrument that they played. The students will be learning the families of instruments in the coming months and this was a great introduction!  Both groups inspired budding musicians to follow their dreams of playing instruments.

It was an awesome assembly that both the students and teachers thoroughly enjoyed.
