Singing for Seniors this Season For the Glee Club at Byron Southwood Public School, singing is where their heart is. The spirited ensemble of 48 students, from Grades 6 through 8, put their heart and soul into singing everything from pop selections like “What Was I Made For?” by Billie Eilish to “O, Canada.” This December, the Glee Club, along with the school’s Concert Band, will perform a variety of holiday selections for residents at Longworth’s Retirement Home. Afterwards, students will mingle with the residents and share cookies before heading back to school. “It was such a meaningful experience when we performed there two years ago,” says Kelly Webb, Byron Southwood’s music teacher and the driving force behind the Glee Club and Concert Band. “We cancelled our performance last year because of a COVID-19 outbreak. So, this feels very special this year.” The Glee Club performs several times throughout the year, including at the school’s Remembrance Day assembly, the Winter and Spring concerts and the London Kiwanis Music Festival, where the club has earned special recognition in the past. The Glee Club also has an exciting opportunity to perform “O Canada” at a London Knights game in February. “The students love singing together. While it takes work and dedication, it’s worth it,” Kelly adds. “They won’t remember the recesses they missed rehearsing, but they’ll remember being part of something bigger than themselves.”
