Over the Rainbow

***UPDATED WITH FINAL
INFORMATION***

I am proud to announce that the John Paterson Chorus
has been invited to sing at the 2018 Newington Relay for Life.
The Relay is held each year to benefit the American Cancer Society.
This year’s Relay is to be held on Friday, June 15th, at
Mill Pond Park
.

This year we are singing the song “Over the Rainbow
as sung by Judy Garland in the movie "The Wizard of Oz".
Opening Ceremony takes place at 6:00.  I am asking the singers
to be at Mill Pond Park at 5:30 to gather together with me.
We will meet near the Show Mobile Stage, (nearby the swimming
pool area I think).

NEW INFO: Members of the John Paterson Chorus have been
asked to sing a few songs from our Spring Concert. Our performance
begins on stage at 5:45. After we sing our concert songs, all Paterson
people who will sing "Over the Rainbow" should join us on stage.

***IMPORTANT - Please make sure if your 4th grader is not on
stage for the chorus songs that they go onto the stage once our
chorus songs are over so they can sing "Over the Rainbow".

I expect us to finish somewhere around 6:30 at latest.

Important – ALL 4th graders are invited to join us for the
performance of “Over the Rainbow” at 6:00, but only chorus members
will sing the chorus set at 5:45.

Anyone attending the Relay for Life to sing with Mr. Kemp
must learn "Over the Rainbow":

LISTEN ONLY to the song to really learn it best!
Here is a YouTube video of Judy Garland singing "Over the Rainbow",
and then another version with an introduction in a higher key.
