What will we be doing?

This is a concert where our Hoboken community comes together to celebrate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Some local schools, including Hoboken Charter School and Hudson School are performing, as well as professional and amateur musicians throughout the local community. All performances will be accompanied by the House Band – yes, our singers will be singing with the band! This is our 5th year participating in this event.

This year the format of the concert is a little different from last year and all children participating will sing as a community choir. We will sing Siyahamba and Free at Last. 5th graders will also recite the poetry learned in classroom. Ms. Hanson and I will be there along with other teachers as chaperones, but all parents are invited and encouraged to come to the concert. There will be a small entrance fee for the families to come into the concert. Performers enter free.

The past four years this has been an incredibly fun and exciting event for our students. I am thrilled that we get to participate again.
