Then, on Nov. 19, the Orchestra concert included a performance by the Troup County Elementary School Chorus, under the direction of Debbie Ogle. Nearly 1,100 fifth grade students from around Troup County gathered in two sessions at Callaway Auditorium to hear the musicians from the Atlanta Symphony. Consisting of two trumpets, one French horn, one trombone and one tuba, the quintet performed a broad variety of music, discussed the unique features of their respective instruments and took questions from the students. This was a wonderful opportunity for my students,” said Susanna Dellinger, a fifth grade teacher at Lafayette Christian School. “We are grateful for the chance to participate.” Ahmad Mayes, Manager of Community Programs for the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, was pleased with the event saying, “It was our pleasure to perform for so many students in LaGrange.” On Nov.19, the LSO welcomed a chorus comprised of nearly 90 fourth and fifth grade students from around Troup County.
