Advanced Chorus Invited to Sing at the Gwinnett Gladiators' OPENING WEEKEND!


And some comments about last year's performance from the President of the Gwinnett Gladiators, Steve Chapman:

"...I wanted to congratulate you and your chorus on your performance this past Saturday [January 2013]. I have been involved in professional hockey for twenty years. I have heard the Canadian National Anthem performed hundreds of times. The [Springdale] Park Elementary Choir performance was truly one of the best renditions that I have ever heard. It was excellent.

I am not Canadian, but having grown up with hockey, the song has a special place in my heart. We have it performed or played at our games to honor our team members that are Canadian. I can tell you that - to a man - each and every one of them was impressed with the performance.

I hope that you bring your choir back to join us in the future and, honestly, I hope that you continue to sing the Canadian anthem as it is a pleasure to listen to your choir perform it..."

My best,

Music@SPARK Shirt Update



After many years of great service from Titan Team Sports (owned by former MES parents Bud and Kay Libman) we have decided to use our own SPARK family’s embroidery business—Squeegee Sharks, owned by Angela and Doug Monje!

We will keep our same great logo, but we will be phasing in a lighter colored green shirt called Irish Green.  If you have a Forest Green (dark) Music@SPARK shirt you DO NOT NEED to re-order, but you are welcomed to. This year’s ensembles will have kids wearing both shades of green, phasing in for next year in which all SPARK ensembles will have the Irish Green shirt. We still have many Forest Green shirts available, and they will be on sale for a reduced price.
