The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

WAITSBURG - Hordes of high school musicians will descend on Waitsburg High School on Wed., Oct. 26, to play and sing at HS MASS!

Schools from Touchet to Asotin, to Garfield and Palouse, to Prescott and Dayton – a dozen schools in all – will send their talent to join in a MASSive rehearsal and concert. The groups have chosen and rehearsed some amazing songs, and will put together one mighty band and choir to perform them under expert direction.

This year’s conductors are Glen Mitchell, retired director of Walla Walla High School Bands, and David Wright, retired director of Kamiakin High School Choirs. Both are celebrated and respected for their excellent careers.

The MASS Choir will perform “Exultate Domino” by Spevacek, “The Road not Taken” by Klouse, and the hilarious medley from “Little Shop of Horrors.” The MASS Band (over 200 strong!) will play “Fire Dance” by Shaffer, “Orion’s Last Battle” by McBride, and a dynamic song about flying, “Into the Clouds”!

Admission for adults is $4, students $3, and the whole family for just $10. The choir starts at 6:30.
