Audience members were treated to a night of singing, music, and fun at the annual Walter G. O’Connell Copiague High School POPS Concert. During the concert, members of the band, jazz band, and chorus performed solo and group performances ranging from today’s hit songs to yesterday’s popular music.
The night started with the concert band, led by John Wevers, playing a medley of Beatles favorites. The choral group, backed by professional musicians including music teachers Larry Wurtzel and Gina Occhiogrosso, began their portion of the concert with a little humor by presenting a satirical performance of the song made famous by an American Idol contestant entitled “Pants on the Ground.”
Board of Education members, members of central and high school administration, and friends and family were also treated to performances of Rihanna’s “Please Don’t Stop the Music,” the Red Hot Chili Pepper’s “Under the Bridge,” and Keri Hilson’s “Knock You Down,” also featuring NeYo and Kayne West.
