2 It was a night for the EHTHS history book this past Saturday at Golden Nugget as the vocal ensemble joined Kenny Rogers on stage. The ensemble backed Kenny for a number of songs and then took center stage to sing their version of Jingle Bells as the crowd and Kenny sat back and watched. Then the ensemble, Dr. Gruccio, Dr. Kadetsky, and myself sang "We Are the World" to the sold out crowd. There was a great EHT presence in the crowd and the experience the students received from rehearsal to backstage preparation to the meet and greet with Kenny was one that they will always remember. Mrs. Barnes invested so much in the outreach, preparation, and direction on stage all for the benefit of her students. Well done to Pam and a superior performance by our ensemble. Remember you can catch our choir and ensemble at their holiday festival Friday night at the auditorium. Click HERE to see the flyer for more information.
