Students and staff enjoy an afternoon of Andean Latin-American music

McNulty Academy students and teachers were treated to a morning of singing and dancing to Andean Latin-American music.

The performance was titled Alborada, which is the Spanish word for dawn, as in morning, or music played at dawn to celebrate, and it tied in nicely with the school’s international magnet theme.

The concert was performed by a family of musicians from Mexico and included discussions of the various instruments that band members were using. Students and staff members were given a chance to play some of the instruments while the band played.

The highlight of the concert was the audience participation segment, in which band members led a sign-along and had students and staff dancing around the gymnasium.
