A Valentine’s Day evening vocal music concert drew an audience of more than 600 and 100 students in grades six through 12 to Hutchinson High School’s Performing Arts Center.

The annual Sixth Grade Honor Choir featured 84 vocalists from the district’s eight elementary schools. The students were selected earlier this year and had been working on special music for Friday night’s event.

Sponsored by a grant from the Hutchinson Public Schools Foundation, the concert also included members of two select choirs — Adams Street Singers from Hutchinson Middle School and the X-Pressives from Hutchinson High School.

Chris Shaw, vocal music teacher at Hutchinson Middle School, was the clinician for the sixth graders Friday afternoon. At the end of the concert, Shaw told the sixth graders and their parents he would like to see all the students in vocal music as seventh graders.

Each group performed individually Friday with all 100 vocalists joining for a combined choir finale of “Can You Hear” by Jim Papoulis.
