North Tama high schoolers entertained audiences last week during the annual Swing Show fine arts exhibition.

A variety of performances were offered on the evenings of March 11 and 12 including those from the band and chorus, as well as dance numbers and short skits.

The 43-member North Tama Band under the direction of Channing Halstead and the 42-member North Tama Mixed Chorus under the direction of Terry Shay each performed three pieces that were spaced out throughout the evening.

Band numbers included “The Mandalorian”, “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” and “Disney at the Movies”. Mixed chorus numbers were “Hakuna Matata”, “The Bare Necessities” and the finale, “We’re All in This Together”.

The Bass Clef Vocal Group performed “Life is a Highway”, while the Treble Clef Vocal Group sang “I See the Light”.
