The John Paterson Chorus has been asked to sing
at the opening ceremonies for the Relay For Life
in Newington on Friday, May 13th! This is a BIG
honor that they have selected us to sing!
OK, here it is! For the 2016 Newington Relay for Life,
the John Paterson Chorus* will sing FIGHT SONG by
Rachel Platten!!! Woohoo!!! :)
* For this event, any 4th grader is invited to join us
as long as you practice and show up to any
mandatory
"Fight Song" rehearsals.
Understanding why - This year's theme for the Relay
for Life is "Survival". Families who deal with cancer
need to be survivors and deal with many hardships.
These hardships can mean a great deal of pain and
suffering, and it sometimes means losing someone you love.
"Fight Song" is a perfect song to inspire people to
fight on,
no matter how hard life gets.
Friday night, May 13th at Mill Pond Park. Opening ceremony usually
starts either 5:00 or 6:00. Once Mr. Kemp knows more
information, he will post that time here.
LISTEN ONLY to Rachel Platten singing "Fight Song".
Mr. Kemp knows you've heard the song a million times,
but listen to her sing it again, and think to yourself about
how she is using her voice to create the powerful melody
and message.
