Fine Arts
After months of waiting to take center stage, Marian Catholic fine arts students were finally able to “cut loose!” From presenting the musical Footloose, to Spring Band and Choral Concerts, actors, musicians, and vocalists had the opportunity to showcase their talents. Regardless of how they express their gifts, the arts are an essential part of Marian Catholic’s curriculum, offering students a unique way to connect with each other and the world.
CHOIR For the choir, their concert was the first time they had been able to all sing together. Most of the selections were rooted with modern gospel undertones and spiritual meaning. Among them was Home by Pearson and Holden. The song has always had special meaning for this year’s seniors. As Choir President Paige Manning '21 explained, the song was chosen because as freshmen, seniors played it for the Class of 2021 on their first day of orientation at Marian Catholic. A line in the lyrics says:
Just know you’re not alone, ‘Cause I’m going to make this place your home. “Marian’s Community and continuous support has been special to all of the seniors,” said Paige. “The memories we have made here will never be forgotten. The love and family created by the Class of 2021 is something to cherish, especially since almost half of our high school career was living through a pandemic. Marian has been our home for the past four years, and now they’re congratulating us as we enter into our new home for the next chapter of our lives.”
