Ms. Consuella Jackson’s choir was chosen to appear in the “Music is Basic” program featuring St. Louis Public School children, grades 1 through 8. HarrisStowe auditorium was the scene of this musical event.
Our choir consisting of 5th and 6th graders, sang three songs. They were:
Banana Boat Loaders Song — a Jamaican folk song featuring xylophones, resonator bells, maracas, guiro and a bongo.
Dona Nobis Pacem — a traditional round.
Americana — a folk song suite.
Everyone at Hamilton School is extremely proud of our choir for being chosen the representative of the Northwest-Soldan District. They have put in many hours of hard work and it shows in their performances.
