KHS: What a wonderful Vocal Extravaganza at Kearny High School ! Special thanks to Yulema Bernal, Scott Burzynski, Milly Gonzalez, Amy Connelly, and Owen Seaver for making this happen! It was an amazing opportunity for each school to perform on the stage, with a supportive audience cheering on every group. Mr. Seaver led the students in a warm-up he uses with his own students at LMS and Ms. Gonzalez’s students at KHS, setting the tone for a fantastic showcase. Each school performed one or two pieces, highlighting the incredible vocal talent within our community. A special highlight of the event was the use of Kearny High School’s historic Skinner organ. Mr. Burzynski accompanied the entire group on this magnificent instrument as the students sang a round together, creating a truly awe-inspiring moment. We also extend our gratitude to the administrators for their support of this musical endeavor, Bobby Elsmore and his team for transportation, the chaperones for their time, and security for assisting with escorting the students in and out of KHS. This event was a true celebration of music, collaboration, and the power of the arts! Thank you, Kathleen Astrella
