Today’s Trip:

McDonald Madrigals and MADE sang  and played for students at Logan Elementary in Ann Arbor, Michigan. After an amazing performance we had lunch in the basement of the Michigan League Building on the University of Michigan’s campus. Another highlight of our trip was seeing the Chanticleer singers at Hill Auditorium. The 12 singers of Chanticleer sang a variety of music from the 1500’s to the 1940’s! It was so much fun!

I was very proud of our McDonald students as performers and as an audience! Below are pictures from our trip.

Congrats to Ala H. and Ahmed M.  for being our FIRST EVER Alto Recorder players at McDonald! I am so proud of their musical leadership! If you see them in the hall way give them a “high five” and ask them about their new alto recorders!

Students from the McDonald Madrigal Choir and M.A.D.E. marched in the Fordson homecoming parade on Friday. I was so proud of our marching and chanting!
