West Orange High School Spring Chorus Concert Inspires
WEST ORANGE, NJ - The award-winning West Orange High School Music Department once again proved that it is the best of the best with the May 10 Spring Chorus Concert.
Treble Choir, Concert Choir, Chamber Choir, Jubilee Choir, and Glee Club came together for an enjoyable and inspiring evening of contemporary, classical, Broadway, and gospel tunes.
For the second year, the Edison Middle School chorus joined the Treble and Concert Choirs for "Children Will Listen," and "Let the River Run."
Graduating seniors were recognized with a slideshow and performances of "The World's Greatest," and "It's so Hard to Say Goodbye."
The finale included "Carnaval de Barrio," featuring the Glee Club, and ended with the traditional and stirring rendition of "Battle Hymn of the Republic."
