RHAM High School Fall Concert

Wednesday night there was a chorus, chamber singers, encore singers, band, and wind ensemble concert here at the RHAM High School Auditorium. The Vocal Director for Chorus and Chamber Singers was James Mirakian. The instrumental director was Timothy Ketterer. The Chamber Singers and Chorus came up first and sang a traditional Jamaican spiritual. Next up the Encore singers came up and Meghan Ortegon sang an excellent solo during the song Ride the Chariot by Max T. and Beatrice P. Krone. After them the choirs combined and sang two songs that had the low and high singers conflicting each other for a more powerful sound. In the song, Rhythm of Life, Heather Eldridge and Ruth Hartunian-Alumbaugh teamed up on the piano because the song required three hands and Ruth alone could not play it. After the intermission it was the band's turn to play and did an excellent rendition of Johann Sebastian Bach's Arioso. Although they had a couple minor flaws they were able to quickly react and fix themselves in a split second. Last up was the Wind Ensemble which did an excellent rendition of the highly recognizable song, The Barber of Seville Overture. The concert ended with the song, Jupiter, by Gustav Holst. It was a very impressive concert and all their hard work has definitely payed off.
