ATTENTION KM ALUMNI

THE EVENT OF ALL KM EVENTS!
Alumni Choir Event April 17

The Friends of KM (a group of KM Alumni who raise money for scholarships specifically for KM students) has asked Mr. Bob Owren, a very popular and successful retired KM Choir teacher, if he would orchestrate an alumni choir event at KM. We are so lucky- he said YES!  Now we are looking for KM grads who were involved in choir.  This does not just have to be during the time when Mr. Owren was here. It could have been long ago in the late ‘50s when Mr. Haynes led the choirs or even in the ‘90s when Ms. Irish was the KM choir director. An evening of music and dinner are being planned.  Mr. Owren is selecting the music and will send it to you via email.  You can practice on your own until April 16th when there will be a full practice here at KM in the PAC.  The event is Saturday, April 17th in the evening.  Dinner is an option.  Watch for ticket sales, you won’t want to miss this show! Bring the whole family.  Email Bob Owren at  -  bob.owren@kent.k12.wa.us

KM Sound Connection

Saturday March 6th KM hosted over 1000 singers in the GRMEA Solo and Ensemble contest.  Sound Connection ran everything from 7:30 am to 6pm.  They did so with professionalism, courtesy and excellence.  They showed the best traits of KM students for all of the region to see.  On top of that, they performed for the first time in the large mixed group category, and scored a Superior rating, the highest rating possible in that category.  Congrats to KM and KM choir students for hosting an outstanding event and excelling in their craft.
