Applewild faculty and families:

We thought our students (and perhaps their parents!) would enjoy reliving some of last Friday night's Five O'clock Shadow (FOCS) concert. We have posted a few numbers from the show (more will be available later, including a more expertly taped version!). Click on any of the links below, and enjoy!

The Scat number that our own American Music Ensemble, under the direction of Erin Schlesinger, performed, accompanied by a combo made up of Frank Bonanno, Carter Kratkiewicz and Joey Bonanno.



The FOCS number Promises, with AME singing background.



Two quick impromptu "audience request" numbers that FOCS tries to perform without rehearsal:

1. Dynamite



2. Don't Stop Believin

A FOCS song for the season, Drummer Boy.

Thanks to the Marshall Fund for the Arts for sponsoring the visit and performance, to Erin Schlesinger for hosting the group and preparing her singers three weeks earlier than normal, to Jen Caldwell for operating the light booth for the master classes and the performance, to Michelle Janoschek, Todd Goodwin, Jenn Buck, Emily Bracchitta, Judy Carr, and Erica Hager for helping out the night of the show, and to all of you who came! The concert was a great way to enjoy Applewild and our Upper School chorus on a Friday evening. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
