So today was a very special day for me! Hyannis Sound were "artists-in-residence" at the Freetown-Lakeville schools where I am finishing up my first year as a high school social studies teacher.
It started with some performances for the students at Freetown-Lakeville Middle School. We sang for the 6th, 7th, and 8th grades. It was so much fun! We taught everyone how to do some vocal percussion which brought more spitting than should ever happen in one room :-)
After leaving the middle school, we headed over to Apponequet for a workshop with Har-Men-Ized, which is the men's select choir. They are so talented! I have been fortunate to work with and listen to them during the year, but the other guys in Hyannis Sound were very impressed with just this one-hour session.
After a delicious cookout with the LeTourneaus, Meleedys, and other friends, we headed back to the school for the evening concert to benefit the school's music program. I got to show the guys my classroom which was really fun. Then that night we sang a set with the select choirs opening for us. We even got to sing Cecilia with the men's group! It was really special to me to be able to share the two things I'm most excited and happy about in my life: teaching and singing with Hyannis Sound. This will surely be a day to look back on for a while.
PS- If you're in the Lakeville area, we are airing the concert often on the local access channel!
