VVES Choir Patriotic Performance

The Virgin Valley Elementary School Choir began the year with only fourth and fifth grade students, but after the Christmas holiday the numbers in the choir dropped off and some of the third grade students were invited to join the choir for their annual Patriotic Performance named “Americans We” this year.

They sang several patriotic songs like “Americans We”, “Oh, I love America”, “We the People” and many more.  The “Battle Hymn for Gettysburg” rendition adapted by Teresa Jennings, had several speakers talking throughout the song.  It was very well done!

The performance ended with “God Bless the USA” by Lee Greenwood.  While the choir sang their hearts out there was a slide show that ran on the large screen with several images of soldiers from the First World War to present.  Several patriotic images of our country were also displayed including the Twin Towers.  It was very heart felt!

Some of the photos taken at this event did make the school section of the Desert Valley Times in Mesquite Nevada.  More photos can be seen and purchased in our Gallery.
