Pop's Concert a Grand Finale for Music Department

Campion’s musical ensembles gathered in the gymnasium on May 2 for the annual Pops Concert, the final performance of the school year. Students, parents, and faculty attended the event, which featured performances from Beginner and Intermediate Bands, Choir, Handbells, Koinonia, Symphony, and Jazz Band.
“I enjoyed playing my instruments on and off stage,” said Abigail Brown. “Even though I’m sad this was the last performance of the year, I realized how much I have grown in music this past year.”
The concert showcased a variety of musical styles as each ensemble performed selections they had prepared throughout the year. Jazz Band brought the evening to a close with their rhythm-driven repertoire. Pizza was also sold during the event to help raise funds for future music activities.
“It was so fun to hear and see my friend play,” said Pamela Lah. “The music was great, and I really enjoyed hearing the musical groups play songs I love.”
For many seniors, the concert marked their final performance at Campion. After the performances, students came together in a tearful group hug around Music Director Naomi Fernandez with mixed emotions as they celebrated their final concert as a group.
“I had a lot of fun being able to display what we had worked on,” said Teagan Phillips. “We laughed and cried together.”
