The annual Veterans Day assembly at Holley Elementary School on November 10 featured patriotic music. Students led the assembly, guiding the audience through a history of American music through their presentations and performances. The Elementary Chorus sang while the Elementary Band played the “The Star-Spangled Banner.” The chorus also sang “God Bless the USA” and “Thank You, Soldiers.”
Following an introduction by senior Claudia Drechsel, the band played “This is My Country,” along with “America the Beautiful.” Sixth grader Chris Lyndaker played “Bugle Call” and “Taps” on his trumpet.
A group of local veterans from the American Legion and VFW posted and retired the colors to begin and end the assembly. Fifty local veterans were in attendance, representing all four branches of the military.
