The CHIEF February 2019

FFA By Lukas Morrissette

Disney Choir We had many events going on in February! We had our annual FFA auction on February 16. A meal was served at 3 and the auction began at 5. Many came to support their peers as those in our Ag Science and Landscaping classes built projects made out of wood. We are also had our annual Proficiency Awards on the 13th. For anyone who does not know, the FFA Proficiency Awards honor FFA members who, through their Supervised Agricultural Experiences or SAE’s, have developed skills that they can apply to their future careers either in or out of the Agriculture field. Thank you from all of us here at your Pontiac FFA Chapter! With the Music department trip to Disney coming up, Choir has started to really go after their Disney pieces that they will be performing at Disneyworld. The choir students range from freshmen all the way through seniors, and everyone is looking forward to the once in a lifetime opportunity to sing at the amusement park. Most of the songs chosen are four parts containing a soprano, alto, tenor, and bass set of notes. Some student favorites of the songs being worked on are titled “Walk in Jerusalem,” “Vox Populi,” and “The Storm is Passing Over.” The songs range from fairly easy to quite challenging, but all students are going headstrong into the songs and putting as much effort as they can to perfect it before spring break. While the break may seem far away for many students, for the students of the Music department, it is only a handful of rehearsals away. By Alyssa Rodriguez
