They made their mark to say the least. Every student gave it their all, no less the graduating class of 2010.

As a member of that graduating class myself, I can certainly say that the finishing of satisfying performances were definitely bittersweet for me. Although I look forward to moving on, a part of me will always be part of Woburn Music and the great opportunities it has given me to express and develop myself.

The regular Woburn ensembles were joined this year with fresh young talent from Henry Hudson Sr. P.S. Joining with Woburn’s Thursday band as well as performing on their own, presenting their music in a large auditorium with a large audience was certainly an enlightening experience for them, as well as a treat for their delighted parents.

Perhaps the most original group performing in the concert was the Woburn Madrigal Choir. Obviously putting their best effort forward for the last concert of the year, their repertoire included male and female exclusive pieces of music, soloists, and a memorable Balinese piece which included choreography.

Other noteworthy groups included the Jazz Band, with multiple soloists in addition to impressive technical and musical skill, the Concert Choir, with a memorable African piece which also included some choreography (an obvious recurring theme for this concert), as well as the Chamber Choir with an impressive rendition of “Tonight” from West Side Story. As usual the concert ended off with a wonderful performance from the Woburn Wind Ensemble, which included an impressive concerto featuring Jacob Plachta on trombone.

After the concert, a heartfelt message of thanks was said by Woburn Music Council president, Amanda Cullmann, to the talented teachers of Woburn Music, Ms. Houghton and Mr. Farrow. Surely all the grads of 2010 felt this message with utmost sincerity towards these two teachers who have surely made their high school years so rich and memorable. I know I do.
