One On This Island
Jenkintown High School students sing "Brand New You"at the Heritage Adjudication Festival in Boston, Spring 2011. This performance earned the Concert Choir first place in their division.
"I love to hear a choir.
I love the humanity...to see the faces of
real people devoting themselves to
a piece of music.
I like the teamwork.
It makes me feel optimistic about the human race
when I see them cooperating like that."
~Sir Paul McCartney~
