Veterans Day Ceremony at San Pablo

Today, my Vocal Ensemble traveled to San Pablo Elementary to participate in their Veterans Day Ceremony.  Principal Kim Bays shared her thoughts on why we should honor our Veterans and she included thoughts on the matter from several former presidents as well.  

The little guys, decked out in red-white and blue, were waving flags and singing patriotic songs.  The Fletcher Middle School Band played an Armed Forces medley and the Fletcher High Vocal Ensemble sang "Battle Hymn of the Republic."  Our very own James Lanier closed out the ceremony with the playing of TAPS.

Honored guests from the Navy were visibly moved by the presentation and my students shook their hands at the conclusion of the ceremony and thanked them for their service.

Thank you to Principal Bays and to Jarika Olberg (music teacher at San Pablo) for coordinating this event.
