"Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World" Virtual Choir

As performed by Israel Kamakawiwo' Ole, arr. Roger Emerson
Performers: 2020 Arvada West HS Choir Seniors
Directors: Chris Maunu and Esther Terpenning

The seniors in our choir department would have graduated last weekend. As a parting gift, some of these seniors came together to pass along this message to the world. While so many are missing out on their graduations, celebrations, and all other final rites of passage of high school, this group of students wishes to remind you that there is a time where these dark clouds will be far behind us. They have also shared that while we are desperately longing for the day when this pandemic passes, that even now, there is so much beauty to be seen in this world We see bluebirds fly, trees of green and red roses too, skies of blue and clouds of white, the brightness of day, and even the beauty of night, faces of people passing by. Somewhere over the rainbow.
