Westview Singers, Natalia Fimbres and Sarah Pence, sang the National Anthem at our Fall Pep Rally. Their rendition brought tears to the eyes of both students and teachers. Following that performance, was Altissimo Voce leading the school in singing our Alma Mater. Here is a wonderful video of one of Westview's finest pep rallies!

National Anthem Day & Back To School Night
Altissimo Voce helped welcome parents to Westview's 10th Back-to-School-Night on September 13th by singing The Star Spangled Banner. This performance was two-fold as September 14th happens to be National Anthem Day. We wore red, white and blue ribbons to honor this event.
In response to 2004 Harris Interactive survey that showed two out of three Americans didn't know the words to our national anthem, MENC: The National Association for Music Education created the "National Anthem Project: Restoring America's Voice" campaign in March 2005 to re-teach the anthem while raising awareness of the importance of school music. Westview Choir participated in this day by reviewing the origination of the anthem and learning to sing it correctly.

First Day of School
It is wonderful to be a Wolverine at Westview! The first day of school was celebrated with our 1st pep rally of the year. Selected choir members sang the National Anthem while the Navy Seals Leap Frogs parachuted from the sky into the Westview Stadium. It was a proud moment that I will never forget. Here is an article about the event: http://www.navy.mil/search/display.asp?story_id=62405. You can also go to the Leap Frogs Facebook Page to see amazing aerial pictures--> Leap Frogs Facebook Page
Choir Retreat 2011
All 2011-12 choir singers were invited to a special pre-school retreat on August 19th and 20th at Westview. We got to know each other, played team building games and started singing together. Saturday night, we had fun showing off our bowling skills. It was a great 2 days that got the year started off right. This is going to be a fantastic year for the Westview Choir Department!
