PCA Student Selected For Region Honor Band!

Levi Song is a euphonium player in the 7th grade band at PCA. This past weekend he was a part of the Region 4 Junior Concert Band. After around 10 hours of rehearsal, he and the other members of the band performed a great concert of music they had never seen before the rehearsals began.

Levi began practicing and preparing for the Region 4 Honor Band audition in the fall. On January 8, he traveled to Summerville High School to audition for a seat in the Junior level Honor Bands. He competed against other euphonium players in our region (8 surrounding counties) in grades 8 and below. After his audition, he had earned first chair honors in the Junior Concert Band. He became only the fourth PCA student to earn a seat in this prestigious honor band. Congrats to Levi and to the members of the region band on a great performance on Saturday. He represented our Eagle family well!

All You Need Is Love (and a little bit of singing!)

The time honored tradition of Singing Valentine's Grams continued this year under the organization of choir director Kathy Thames. Thames and the Upper School choir went from class to class performing over 60 singing grams to students and teachers alike!

“It’s always a blessing to see how much joy the Valentine grams bring our students and faculty,” said Thames. “I’m so glad we could deliver them in person…this year we added “Stand By Me”, “All You Need is Love,” and “I Want it that Way” along with the classics “Lean on Me” and “You are My Sunshine.”

Senior AnnaJaye Walters also had a lot of fun! “Lots of joy, laughter, and often red faces come from delivering the singing Valentine grams! It is a sweet way to spread the love!”
