Friday, February 4, was a truly eventful day at Indian Creek Upper School. Many talents were displayed including the performing and visual arts along with athletics. ICUS’ chorus and orchestra present their musical talents, the many artists showcased their creative work, and the Boys Varsity Basketball team played to win.
Because of the recent snow, the original winter arts night, which was scheduled for January 28, was canceled and rescheduled for February 4 during school. Following the assembly schedule, many of the students involved in the chorus and orchestra were anxious to show off their hard work and ability. Not only was the student body there to support their friends, but the parents were also invited to come and see their children.
The chorus sang a couple songs, one of which was actually from the hit musical series, Glee. Some students including Becky Kinder, Robby Montgomery, and Yoshi Guzman had solos and duets in that number. One song was particularly interesting where all of the girls successfully sang a capella. Other acts included a musical number performed by Angelina Lewis (cello), Amanda Amodio, (violin) and Katelyn Peditto (flute).
Some students, however, did not appreciate the gifts of their classmates. Some were talking among themselves throughout the concert to the extent that some parents complained. These students were asked by Mr. McCormick to write a letter apologizing for their actions, though many did not actually do this. Mr. Connolly also commented on the problem Monday, February 7, during D day school meeting.
Following the musical performances, many people were invited to come and check out the artwork displayed in the Grindrod Atrium and Coleman Gallery after school. It was incredible to see; there is an immense amount of artistic talent within ICUS. To top the day off, the basketball team had their senior night game where they crushed Park School. It was an action-packed day; really showing how far ICUS has come in the few short years it has been open.
