Soda Springs students attend concert in Logan
Soda Springs music students were treated to two orchestra groups in Cache Valley on Monday.
Students of Debbie Hansen and Kimberly Mumford had the opportunity to attend a Spring Concert of the Cache Youth Orchestra at Logan High School on Monday. The Crescendo Orchestra, conducted by Rachel Wheeler, and the Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Ghyas Zeidieh, are both audition-based groups of talented young musicians who played a combined eight numbers for a large weekend crowd of students and adult. Students from Soda Springs were given the opportunity to attend, and around 30 students from grades 6 through 12 ended up making the trek.
“I wanted the students to see kids their own age performing amazing music to see how fun it is and how a big symphony sounds,” Debbie Hansen said. The performing orchestras caught wind of the fact that the Soda contingent was in the building, and the announcers officially welcomed the group at the beginning and end of the performance.
Hansen reports that the students’ favorite song was “The Sound of Sound,” which contained lots of fun movement. Kudos to providing students a fun chance to experience music on a large scale!
