[18:43] So it's a kind of a team effort that the [18:45] school works together to make events [18:46] like this happen. So we appreciate their [18:49] flexibility in making this happen. So we [18:52] are going to sing three pieces of the [18:53] Iron Hill Concert Choir. Three pieces. [18:55] The first one, Jamaican Marketplace.

[22:12] Market woman [22:18] singing away home. [22:21] Market woman [22:25] on her way on her way [22:34] from the market. [23:39] I will be a light in the darkness. [23:49] I will be a star in the sky. [23:58] I will be a voice in the silence. [24:08] I will be a cry [24:19] will be a light in the dark. [24:25] I will be a star in the sky. [24:31] There will be a voice in the silence. [24:37] There will be [24:46] a light in the darkness. [24:50] I will be a star in the sky. [24:58] be your voice in the silence. [25:03] I will be a cry. [25:09] I will be the light in the darkness. [25:16] I will be the star in the sky. [25:22] I will be the voice in the silence. [25:28] I will be your cry. [25:34] Let us shine like in the darkness. [25:40] Let us [25:43] like stars in the sky. [25:47] We will sing your songs in the silence. [25:53] We will be your cry. [25:59] We will be the light. [26:06] We will be the light. [26:12] We [26:14] will be [26:17] the [26:18] light. [27:12] Before we sing, I want to let folks know [27:15] that these wonderful singers do lots of [27:17] things at Ireland High School. Yes. So, [27:19] you're going to raise your hand when [27:20] certain things happen. Raise your hand [27:22] if you're in theater drama. [27:26] Raise your hand if you are in speech. [27:29] How about debate? [27:33] Just leave your hand up. Good. Thank [27:34] you. Um, how many of you have been in [27:36] student council? [27:40] How many of you have been in a sport at [27:42] Iron High School? [27:45] And we're missing our all state swimmers [27:46] at swimming right now. Um, so lots of [27:50] different sports people, right? There [27:51] are more things we could list off. Wait, [27:53] how many of you are taking an advanced [27:55] placement AP class or college in the [27:57] schools class? Quite no way. [28:06] So, I do this to dispel any myths that [28:08] you can't do lots of things and be part [28:10] of these things, right? These are the [28:12] leaders. These are the people who are [28:13] involved. You can come see these folks [28:15] on drama stages and at national speech [28:18] meets and all kinds of things they do [28:21] and then competing in athletics too. So [28:24] people can be in choir and band and [28:26] orchestra and do all these wonderful [28:28] things at the same time. So this last [28:30] piece we're going to do together, White [28:31] Winter Himnil, was made very famous by a [28:35] group called Pentatonics, but was [28:37] originally by a group called Fleet [28:39] Foxes. And Mr. understanding all up here [28:41] were talking about when it first came [28:42] out and it was a little while ago but I [28:45] was only younger but not young at that [28:47] point. So anyway, um so this is a super [28:50] exciting piece. The people in the front [28:52] are going to do some clapping rhythm [28:53] patterns that uh that were the [28:56] pentatonics. Go on. Go home and watch [28:57] the pentatonics do it. It's pretty cool [28:59] but not as good as I do choir. [29:22] I was following the following. I was [29:27] following the I was following the [29:31] following. I was following the I was [29:35] following the I was following the I was [29:40] following the pack all swed in their [29:42] coats with scars of reds [29:47] to keep their little heads from falling [29:50] in the snow and I turn and there you go [29:56] you would fall and turn the white snow [29:59] red as strawberries [30:02] In the summertime [30:41] I was following the pack all swed in [30:44] their coats with red tide [30:49] to keep their little heads from falling [30:52] in the snow. And I turned around and [30:55] there you go. And Michael, you would [30:58] fall and turn the white snow red as [31:02] strawberries in the summertime. [31:35] I was following the pack all swallowed [31:38] in their coats with scars of red. I [31:41] round their throats to keep their little [31:44] heads from falling in the snow. And I [31:47] turn around and There you go. And [31:51] Michael, you would come and turn the [31:53] white snow red as strawber. [32:18] If you like clapping hand patterns, we [32:20] have another song just for you for that. [32:22] So, we're going to spread out concert [32:24] choir if you would spread out to your [32:26] different spots. [32:28] And then yes, hi Ed, you're going to [32:31] stand up. We're going to start with [32:33] story a greeting song [32:38] that we will do in a second. Ready? [32:40] Edwin Hide view go. [32:48] Thank you. [33:22] all the way down. [33:54] up. [34:27] All right. This is a greeting song from [34:29] the Shona tribe which is in the [34:30] Zimbabwean area in the southern part of [34:34] the African continent. And so we paired [34:36] up these secondary students with these [34:38] elementary students to do that. It's a [34:40] beautiful exciting thing. Can you give [34:42] us a D major triad and then the A again? [34:44] And then Mr. Ro [34:53] Glory. [35:22] Glory. [35:24] So we are [35:28] we are [35:31] glory [35:36] we are glory [35:45] how [35:47] see [35:49] how she [35:59] glorious. [36:15] Her [36:38] partner just gave her candy and not me. [36:43] Our [36:56] final song tonight is called Draw the [36:58] Circle Wide and it's about bringing a [37:01] circle of the humans around us, making [37:04] it bigger and including everyone. [37:08] And we're very excited to share that [37:09] with you. We're going to open with the [37:11] Sunnyside Choir singing the opening [37:13] melody and then the choir will join them [37:15] as we draw the circle wide. [37:39] Draw a circle. [37:42] Draw a circle. Wide. [37:46] Draw a circle. [37:48] Draw the circle. Why? [37:53] No one stands alone. We'll stand side by [37:57] side. [38:00] Draw the circle. [38:02] Draw the circle. Why?
