WVMS Honors Chorus sings national anthem at Renegades game

The warwick valley middle school honors chorus sings the national anthem at heritage financial field

Last Friday evening, the Warwick Valley Middle School Honors Chorus had the honor of singing the national anthem prior to Hudson Valley Renegades game. The excited and well-rehearsed chorus students -- along with plenty of family members -- visited Heritage Financial Park (formerly The Dutch), where it was Disco & Fireworks Night, and the mighty Aberdeen IronBirds were in town!

The students got some warm-ups and last-minute practice in before making their way out under the lights, along the right field line, where they gave their performance.     

"Honors Chorus students meet during their lunches and their recesses to rehearse for special performances like this one," said WVMS chorus director Shane Peters. "This was a phenomenal opportunity for the students to both showcase their skills and talents and spend time with friends and family. It's a joy to provide these students with musical opportunities, but it is even more joyous to see music bring friends and family together for a night out!"

The chorus contingent felt welcomed and appreciated by the good folks at the Hudson Valley Renegades, who helped make their visit and performance so memorable. There were ballpark treats, exciting between inning games, a fun hang with Rascal the Raccoon, one of those typically dazzling Renegades Friday firework displays, and, of course, some great Minor League Baseball!

Great job, Honors Chorus! And thank you for having us, Renegades.
