Grandpersons' Day Sneak Peek
|
SA's fourth and eighth grades give a sneak peek of the fun and soulful tunes that will be sung at the
SA Grandpersons' Day 2018 performance!
|
Dr. Rob's adrenaline is running super-high these days regarding the upcoming Grandpersons' Day concert on October 19. Looking ahead to the exciting performance which will feature hits from the 1980's, Dr. Rob shares:
I think I'm finding the 80's music even more exhilarating than I expected...which shouldn't have surprised me, because the symphonic rock of the 80's was prevalent on the radio when I was a young adult. But, what's even more amazing is how explosively the students have come out of the gate in embracing the music.
The performance promises to be a powerful concert that should not only leave the audience and the singers breathless, but myself as well. I mean, we're talking Journey, Michael Jackson, Bon Jovi, Pat Benatar, Culture Club, The Bangles, The Go-Go's, Cyndi Lauper, Queen, Bonnie Tyler, Chicago, etc. We've even thrown in a dash of the 70's, with some Abba, Elton John, KC & the Sunshine Band, and the Bay City Rollers.
Seriously, I've been left out of breath just playing the concert through on the piano. It's so much fun! Hoping everyone can be there and see these wonderful students rocking the house!
