[0:19] Good evening everybody. My name is Mr. [0:21] Borski. I am the choir director here at [0:23] Tartan High School. It's a pleasure to [0:25] see all of you and we're really happy [0:27] and excited to share our music with you [0:29] tonight. Our concert theme is the Ark of [0:32] Life. As you listen to each set of [0:35] songs, both by Titan Choir and Concert [0:38] Choir as well, you'll notice texts that [0:41] reflect and are representative of our [0:43] life's journey as human beings. So the [0:47] first song in each set will be [0:49] reflective of childhood and looking at [0:51] the world through the eyes of a child [0:53] with a sense of awe and wonderment. As [0:56] we move through the sets, we'll sing [0:59] texts that um well kind of discuss all [1:03] sorts of challenges in life, growing, [1:06] learning new things, overcoming [1:08] obstacles, all those things we encounter [1:11] as we grow and grow and mature [1:13] throughout our lifetime. And then [1:15] finally, the last song in each set will [1:17] be more reflective in nature, learning [1:19] to let go, say goodbye to loved ones, [1:22] and looking back over all the years [1:42] on a cold winter. [1:46] on every branch of every tree and icicle [1:51] and [1:53] I looked out on a vision that no one [1:58] else could see. A garden full of bicles [2:03] growing just for me. [2:07] Winter's [2:09] beauty [2:10] takes my breath away. [2:14] Mirales unfolding [2:16] on a cold win [2:35] from the soft twilight glow. I looked [2:40] out on a vision as no one else could see [2:49] shining down on me. [2:53] Winter's [2:55] beauty [2:56] firing [3:03] on a cold win night. [3:08] There were icicles and stars. [3:12] >> There were miracles unfolding. [3:16] What a cold [3:19] winter [3:21] night. [3:42] It's my turn. [3:50] >> Oh, we learn and we grow as we walk each [3:56] other [3:58] together.

[15:23] I was following the pack. all swallowed [15:27] in their coats with scarves of red tied [15:30] around their throats to keep their [15:33] little heads from falling in the snow. [15:36] And I [15:40] would fall and turn [16:18] I was following the pack all swallowed [16:21] in their coats. [16:22] with scarves [16:28] from [16:32] there. [16:34] And Michael, you would fall and turn [16:40] in the summer. [17:10] I was following the pack.

[17:51] I'm sure many of you know this from [17:53] social media and other um various ways, [17:56] words of mouth or whatever the case may [17:58] be. But excuse me, it gives me a great [18:02] honor to share with all of you that [18:04] recently I was given the very humbling [18:08] and rewarding experience of receiving [18:11] coral director of the year in creative [18:12] programming by ACDA of Minnesota. So [18:15] that's a huge honor. [18:26] That award is given to one director [18:28] statewide every year. So here we're [18:31] representing at Tartan High School. [18:39] And that award would not be possible. I [18:42] would not have that in my office right [18:44] now if it weren't for all the amazing [18:46] work that the students in concert choir [18:48] um have been doing. So how about a round [18:51] of applause for these amazing students? [18:54] Great job. [19:03] All right, enough bragging. We'll get [19:05] right back to singing for all of you.
