The Holy Cross Music Department will present its' annual Pops Concert on Friday, May 19th at 7:30pm. Tickets are $8.00 and can be in the Main Office between 7:00am-3:00pm. They will also be available at the door on the night of the concert. The Pops Concert is under the direction of Gabrielle Brazauskas and Leo Lavallee '77.
Performances will be made by the Girls' Jazz and Pop Choir, the Concert Band, the Concert Choir, Crosstones, the Jazz Workshop, and Chamber Choir. The students will perform pop classics by icons, Lady Gaga, The Jackson Five and Madonna, and beloved pieces from Broadway musicals such as The Lion King, Beauty & the Beast and Beautiful.
"A special feature of this year's Pop's Concert is a solo performance by all the senior members of the Band," said Mr. Lavalle, Director of Bands. "They have been working very hard learning the music for Beautiful by Carole King."
This will be the last concert for student performers in the Class of 2017. It is very bittersweet for Ms. Brazauskas. "The seniors have been amazing," she said. "I still feel like a relatively new teacher here, and they really stepped into leadership roles, assisting with Mass, organization of the band room, and many other behind the scenes pieces that keep the music department running smoothly. I will miss them all terribly next year and wish them the best with all of their future endeavors!"
