The John Champe Spring Guitar Concert was held on May 15th, 2024, as the last guitar concert of the year. This concert was also the last one for all seniors, which made this an event to remember. The Beginning, Intermediate, and Advanced/Artist groups of Champe each performed around two to three songs. Mercer Middle School was also invited to this Spring concert to play two songs with the Champe groups. The students worked hard to prepare for this concert through sectionals and rehearsals. The seniors had been waiting for their last concert as well and were given a special shoutout in the middle of the concert. Parents, friends, and teachers all came to watch the last guitar concert of the 2023-2024 year, while the students shined on stage. It has been a long and exciting year for the guitar students, and it was nice to wrap up the year with the middle schoolers as well, to help introduce them to the high school guitar classes and environment.
“It was hard to prepare for the concert, especially because of my other tests, but I knew I had to do it, said sophomore Forest Hoskins. “It was worth it in the end as well, since I think we did really good.”
