The Blackhawks Band and Winterguard presented their spring concert last week. The concert began with two pieces by the concert band that will later be used at contest in Chamberlain, followed by a peppy song called “Hyperdrive.”
Band members then presented some unique small ensembles. The first, called “Body Jam,” used a combination of clapping, foot stomps, knee claps and vocals to share their music. The next novelty piece was “Bucket Jam,” where students used buckets and drumsticks to perform the music piece, followed by “Chair Jam” using chairs and drumsticks.
The concert ended with a performance by the Blackhawks Winterguard of their 2016 show “Self-Worth.”

“Bucket Jam” is presented by Catherine Bechen, Devin Garrett, Bailey Moody, Sawyer Senska and Austin Schmit.

MADISON STEPHENS has a “hair raising” experience as fellow student Braxton Gentles looks on.

Central Electric Cooperative and East River Electric Cooperative recently presented “The Story Behind the Switch” to the fourth, fifth and sixth graders at Woonsocket Elementary.
The program explained what electricity is, how it is made, how it gets to where it’s going and how it has become part of our lives.  Several students were selected to help demonstrate different activities.
The program was sponsored by the Woonsocket Community Library.
