Eaton Fundamental Middle School chorus wins at Music in the Parks Festival
The Eaton Fundamental Middle School Eagle Ensemble (7th & 8th-grade chorus students) participated in the Music in the Parks Festival on May 21, 2022 at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. The students won the first place award in their category with a superior rating of 92.5 out of 100. They also won best junior high/middle school choir overall.
According to their chorus teacher Ronnie Wilson, the students worked very hard on their music - music that in fact was above average for their grade level. They performed one Latin piece entitled Festival Sanctus with very difficult rhythms and intervals to sing. The other selection was an exciting fast-moving piece with gasps and foot stomps entitled Lightning.
“The students exuded exemplary decorum from the time they got on the bus to the time we arrived back at Eaton on Saturday night,” said Wilson. “I received numerous compliments on my students' behavior and performance.”
