William
O. Schaefer Elementary School
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.
