On Sunday, students at Vienna Elementary – under the
leadership of music teacher Shaun Howe – had the honor of singing the national
anthem at a Winston-Salem Dash baseball game at BB&T Ballpark.
Here is what Howe had to say about the experience:
“Sunday was an
incredible day filled with singing, excitement and school community for Vienna
Elementary. This past Sunday, the Vienna Elementary School Chorus sang the
National Anthem for The Winston-Salem Dash’s final home game of their season!
“The chorus was
a finalist in the “Oh Say Can You Sing” competition, giving them this honor. With
over 40 students in the chorus, you couldn’t imagine the excitement. The Chorus
sang beautifully and we’re so proud of their performance.
“The
festivities did not end there! The day was made even more memorable with the
first pitch being thrown out by Vienna’s own Principal Andy Lester-Niles and
the stands filled with over 500 Vienna families and staff.
“This was truly
the perfect way to kick off the new school year!”
