The Atlanta Gladiators invite all Springdale Park students, friends, family and staff out to cheer on the Gladiators THIS SATURDAY, March 23 as they take on the Kansas City Mavericks on MARVEL Superhero night.

The game will include the Springdale Park chorus performing the English/French version of O’Canada prior to the game, and Grady Cluster students (including SPARK singers who have sung) singing "America the Beautiful" at First Intermission.

SPARK 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade students who wear their SPARK shirt and know "America the Beautiful" may also sing with us at first Intermission. Watch for Ms. Turgeon's signal near the 7 minutes left time in the first period to go to lineup and sing! 

It will also be the final $5 frenzy night of the season where you will be able to purchase limited edition Gladiator hats for just $5 apiece.

GMEA Large Group Performance Evaluation

Congratulations to our Music@SPARK Advanced Chorus, who earned Superior ratings in repertoire and sight-singing today at the Georgia Music Educators Association Large Group Performance Evaluation at Mays High School. The judges were very complimentary, and our attention to a lovely tone and expressive music making paid off.

An example of the Sight-singing exercise
students read 8 measures of music they've never seen before at sight (with a short practice session)

Thank you to all of the singers for your hard work, and congratulations on this accomplishment!

Also, a HUGE thank you goes to Jana Hurlburt, who takes beautiful video of our performances! Please enjoy our selections below!

GMEA Statewide Elementary Honor Chorus

I am SO proud of our SPARK singers who attended GMEA Statewide Elementary Honor Chorus. They made me proud musically and as sweet, funny, delightful people. I am so grateful for our parental support and their willingness to go all the way to Athens during our Winter Break. 

Anna, Phoebe, Kate, Colbi, and Redon made me super proud. And wasn't it cool to see Mr. Marvel and Ms. Mobley accompanying the gigantic choirs? And I'll be in charge of this event for the state next year! 😄

Below are some photos and videos I was able to get during rehearsals and down time.
