Warsaw Middle Schools’ Bands To Honor Veterans At Public Concerts Thursday

By Staff Report-

Thanksgiving is one of November’s holidays, but another is Veterans Day. Those at First Friday were reminded of that via the performance of patriotic songs by students from Lakeview and Edgewood middle schools.

“On November 11 at the Lakeview gym, we’ll have the band, the orchestra and the choirs present their songs and tribute to the veterans,” Peloza said. “We’ve got a great guest speaker lined up. Junior ROTC will be there. It’s a wonderful program.”

The concerts are at 1 and 7 p.m. and the public is invited.

Peloza praised his students for coming out Friday to perform. “What I have noticed about this group is that they are so dedicated,” he said. “They enjoy coming down even during hours outside of band class to perform and I thought that this would be a wonderful opportunity and being November, it’s a wonderful opportunity to thank our veterans and our servicemen and women.”

“I think this is a great thing that Warsaw does on First Friday and having these students use their talents to enrich the lives of others is amazing, so I’m very proud of them,” he said, mentioning he hoped to bring the students out to perform at other First Fridays in the future.

Warsaw Community Schools thanks directors, students and organizers for living the mission and giving their time and talents to community events.
