YCUSD Choir Students Shine in Collaborative Concert
YCUSD Choir Students Shine in Collaborative Concert
Oct. 10th, 2024
As Yuba City High School Choir director Kathryn Campbell stated, singing is something you can do for your whole life. "You might not be able to play football when you are 50 or 60 years old, but you can still sing!" This philosophy was evident last Thursday night, October 10, where over 100 YCUSD choir students in grades 6-12 combined with about 30 members of a YCHS alumni choir to perform for a packed house at Andros Karperos School in Yuba City. In total, there were participants from 6 different decades who joined together in song.
This concert was organized by YCUSD Choir Teachers Kathryn Campbell, Kelly Cunningham, David Harris, and Karla Hyatt. The YCUSD choir students had been practicing their music at their own schools for the last six weeks before finally joining together for a combined rehearsal on the morning of October 10, leading up to the concert that night.
The program began with the combined 6th-12th grade students singing in a variety of musical styles including an American folk song, a contemporary song with the Latin title of "Cantate Hodie," and another contrasting and exuberant song sung in Swahili. The choir students from both high schools then combined to perform a couple of selections on their own in which they demonstrated their ability to sing harmony in multiple parts with lyricism and energy. Following the high school students, Mrs. Campbell invited up the special YCHS Alumni Choir to perform. As they were taking their places, Campbell talked with the students about how special it is to be part of a choir and how students can continue singing for the rest of their lives. She also mentioned that many professional pop, rock, Broadway, and opera singers often get their first vocal experiences singing in their school choirs. As the alumni choir sang, the students, along with the rest of the audience, listened intently as these mature voices filled the auditorium with music that many of the audience had never heard before. Their harmonies, expression, balance, and diction were of a quality that one might hear from a professional chorale group. The alumni choir was also directed by special guest conductor Linda Robinson, recently retired YCHS Choir director, and also had Dean Estabrook, also a retired YCHS Choir director, singing in the choir. Kathryn Campbell also pointed out that all four current YCUSD choir teachers are also YCHS Choir alumni.
The concert concluded with a combined group of all performers singing "The Lion Sleeps Tonight". Families and students alike had smiles on their faces during this final number as the choir members and the audience moved with the music. Afterward, there was great pride seen on the faces of the performers and their families. "Music has the ability to bring people together," stated Karla Hyatt, choir director at AK School. "It was inspirational to have the alumni choir join the students and be able to share their love of choral music with the next generation of singers in our community."
