Music Concert

Meridian — Mon, 03 May 2010 19:26:14 +0000

When Julianna Boulter’s music students broke into joyful chorus, “There can be miracles, when you believe,“ it was a particularly poignant conclusion to a concert that featured performances from the youngest preK students all the way up to seniors.

Classes sang folk tunes, religious music, classical pieces, and even the Bohemian Rhapsody! Well done, Miss Boulter, and well done, students…we’re proud of you.

Upper and Middle School drama students spent 24 jam-packed hours brainstorming, writing, rehearsing, and performing original plays in this year’s Extreme Theater held November 13-14.
