alma mater; stepping foot in the building felt like home. The
purpose for this trip was to give the 8th graders of Marine Park
a sample of our wonderful music program.
First the Symphonic band performed "Florentiner March"
conducted by Ben Futterman , an assistant director and fellow
student. Following this piece was a more relaxed happy
selection, "Hanukah Festival" conducted by myself. Last but
not least our teacher, Mr.Christensen, closed our part of the
show with a powerful piece entitled "Russian Christmas
Music". Next the Madrigal chorus performed two lovely
selections - "Matona Mia Cara" and "Come Again Sweet Love
Doth Now." A member of chorus, Ewa Graboska said, "I
really like Matona Mia Cara. The coolest parts of the piece is
the last section where all parts have a different part to sing but
join together at the end." Another member of Madrial Choir,
Gianna Marie Sciortino shared her thoughts, Singing for
music students just a few years younger than me was a
fantastic opportunity to share Murrow's music program with
other prospective students. I hope I inspired the 8th graders to
become music students. Jazz Band opened with a New
Orleans treatment of "Comin' Home Baby". This piece was full
of cool improvised solos and provided a fun atmosphere for
the audience. For the last tune the jazz band pull out their
secret weapon. Sweeping the 8th grade girls right off their feet
was Marco Varisco with "Santa Claus is Coming To Town".
The Marine Park principal, Ms.Garofalo cried tears of joy. It
was fun to return home and make so many kids happy.
