Plains students perform spring concert

Plains Elementary choir members and musicians performed in their spring concert “Good Vibes” for over 400 attendees last Tuesday evening in the school gymnasium.

Under the tutelage of music directors Nichole Cockrell and Loren Lauridson, students from kindergarten through sixth grade performed 24 songs. 

The evening was split into two performances. One for kindergarten through third grade. The second performance was for grades four through sixth. 

The evening’s first performance included songs titled, “I am a Pizza,” performed by the kindergarten choir and accompanied by sixth graders playing ukuleles. Second graders performed the song, “I Like Me,” with the third graders ending the first performance with one of their songs called "Say What.”

The evening’s second performance started out with the fourth-grade choir singing one of three songs called, “Hamsters Can’t Play The Piano.” 

Lauridson directed the fifth- and sixth-grade bands, who each played three songs for the crowd. The sixth-graders ended with a performance with their ukuleles, accompanied by Cockrell. 

Lauridson will be moving on to another teaching position next year.
