LES fifth-graders perform at All-State Music host night concert in Sheridan
BY DAVID PECK
A group of Lovell fifth-grad-
ers were thrilled to perform on
the big stage last week after be-
ing selected for the opening night
concert of the 2015 Wyoming All-
State Music Conference at Sheri-
dan High School.
Lovell Elementary School
Music Director Chauna Bischoff
said she heard about the oppor-
tunity while speaking with Cody
East Side Elementary School mu-
sic teacher Emily Andrews, ele-
mentary school vice president of
the Wyoming Music Educators
Association, which sponsors All-
State Music along with the Wy-
oming High School Activities
Association.
She submitted a video of the
school's spring concert, which in-
cluded the current fifth-graders,
who were then fourth-graders.
The WMEA board chose Lovell
Elementary to perform as the
opening performance of the Sun-
day night concert that kicks off
All-State Music.
"They requested guitars and
all of the things we do in 30 min-
utes," Bischoff said. "The kids
were so fast getting ready that we
were three seconds under 30 min-
utes with everything."
The fifth-graders performed
eight numbers in the concert at
the Sheridan High School Gym:
"The William Tell Overture" on
rhythm sticks, the "North Skelton
Sword Dance," "Squanto's Song '
and "Bile Them Cabbage Down"
by the recorder ensemble, "This
Land is Your Land" on guitars,
"What Do You Do With a Music
Teacher?" on guitar with singing
and two pure singing numbers,
"Still in My Heart" and "This Flag
We Fly" in honor of men and wom-
en in the military serving their
country.

"They did awesome," Bischoff
said. "The audience laughed and
cheered. It was amazing."
Bischoff said the fifth-graders
came before school and practiced
to get ready for the performance
during part of November and all
of December. Then on Saturday
morning before the conference
the students met at the school in
Lovell to run through the entire
program in order.
On the Sunday of the per-
formance, Jan. 18, the students
bused to Sheridan for a dress re-
hearsal that began at 4:30 p.m. at
Sheridan High School. With some
time between that and the 7:30
performance, Lovell native Ja-
nine Goodrich, a family and con-
sumer science teacher at SHS,
opened up her classroom to the
Lovell students to rest and relax
before the performance.
"It was way nice of her," Bis-
choff said.
The students were a bit awed
by the big crowd in the gym, but
Bischoff said they rose to the oc-
casion and performed well.
"The other teachers were
impressed with how they per-
formed," she said, "how focused
they were and how varied our pro-
gram was."
Performing were fifth-graders
Hailey Rael, Alyssa Rael, Krysta-
lyn Palmer, Chevelle Jolley, Ash-
ton Harper, Manda Mayes, Ash-
lynn Fink, Bishop Trainor, Dallen
Mangus, Chance Abraham, Amos
Monterde, Mykaela Sippel, Mi-
chelle Lake, Broden Lockner,
Riley Heindl, Ralph Moreno,
Shaylee Bowers, Jordan Wood-
ford, Quinn Lindsay, Kane Fergu-
son, Sam Cornia, Jastin Joy, Ben
Hawley and Chelsey Green.
Due to the late hour and
the students' age, they returned
home following their performance
but had to go by way of Billings
due to a crash on the mountain.
Performing after them were the
Sheridan High School Sympho-
ny Orchestra, the Sheridan Coun-
ty Children's and Youth Chorale,
the Sheridan High School African
Marimba group and the Sheridan
County Super Choir.
"It was quite an honor (to be
included)," Bischoff said.
Bischoff said she appreciates
the support she received from
Lovell educators including Supt.
Rick Woodford and wife Jennifer,
music teachers Linnea Dickson
and Jessica Schreiner, Lovell's
all-state choir members, Kathy
Harrison, LES Principal Cheri
Hoffman, teacher Lindsay Lind-
say and others, many of whom
helped with staging and equip-
ment and supervising the stu-
dents since Bischoff stayed in
Sheridan for another two days
during the conference.
"The teachers (in Sheridan)
were so impressed that my princi-
pal and superintendent were there
to support and help us," she said.
