Sensational 2018 SLSing Off
St. Luke’s singers wowed the audience with their a cappella arrangements in the 2018 SLSing Off. It was the fifth year Chorus (9th & 10th grades) and Chorale (11th & 12th grades) formed their own groups and musical arrangements and faced off against their singing peers.
Students and faculty filled the Black Box Theater to hear creatively crafted mashups of songs from the 1970s-1990s. Upper School Music Department Chair Dale Griffa who oversaw the event said, “The creative process is a great learning experience for everyone involved. They reflect on what works and what does not and how they can help move the group forward as an ensemble. This allows them to grow not just as artists but also as leaders.”
On Monday, April 23, the top groups from Chorus and Chorale will compete at the Upper School Town Meeting, and an overall winner will be selected by popular vote.
A special thanks to Middle School Music Department Chair Katie Kaplan for her assistance in coordinating the 2018 SLSing Off and faculty members Bob Leinbach, Leo Mahler, Jason Peck, and Sonia Bell for serving as judges.
