Dressed in black and white, the 8th annual CHS Gala concert was the place to be on March 15th. The CHS band, choir, and orchestra participated in a musical evening at the civic center. Duane Zehr, known as “The Wizard” to the musical folk around Capital, directed the band in “British Irish Suite”, “As Summer Was Just Beginning”, and “Galop.” Darcy Schulz Directed the choir in “I am not Yours”, and “John the Revelator,” and John Pesky directed the orchestra in “Five Pieces for Strings” and “Symphony No.8 in G Finale.” All three performed beautifully. The night continued with the joint piece of “Gloria”. This night didn’t happen last year, and Schulz says she “is glad to have it back.” Another student agreed, saying “this night is full of amazing music and lots of talent.” All in all, it was a treat for anyone who attended. Catch all of these talented students at the choir concert on May 18th at 6:00 at Capital High, the band concert on May 20th at Capital, and april 8th for the Capital’s!
