BURBANK -- The halls of two schools will be alive with music next week
as Burbank and John Burroughs high schools prepare for major music and
dance performances.
Burbank High's "Late Winter Concert" will feature more than 300
participants. Students from John Muir Middle School's string orchestra
and concert band and Luther Burbank Middle School's concert band will
also appear.
At Burroughs, vocalists and dancers will take center stage at "Pops
Show 23." The theme for that show is "Rockin' the Paradise," from a Styx
song.
More than 200 students are involved with the show and they have been
practicing six days a week in preparation.
Sam Saletta, a senior who has been involved with the school's vocal
music program for four years, is looking forward to the show.
"Performing is the ultimate adrenaline rush," Saletta said. "It's the
greatest thing about high school."
Burbank High School's "Late Winter Concert" will be in the auditorium
of the school at 902 N. Third Street. The first performance will be at 7
p.m. Tuesday. The second show will be at 7 p.m. Friday. Admission is $5,
$3 for students and senior citizens.
Burroughs' "Pop Show 23" will be in the school's auditorium at 1920
Clark Street. Performances will be at 7 p.m. Thursday to March 16 and 2
p.m. March 17. Admission is $8, $5 for seniors or students. For more
