"Lift Every Voice and Sing" arr. by Bob Phillips performed by members of the Combined SEHS Concert, Symphonic, and Chamber Orchestras at their End of Year Concert on May 10, 2021. Thank you for performing this important piece with such emotion and sensitivity!
Lift Every Voice and Sing was a poem written by James Welden Johnson in 1899 and was set to music by his brother J. Rosamond Johnson in 1900. It became known as the African American National Anthem. The first performance of the poem was in honor of Booker T. Washington's visit to the segregated Stanton school on Abraham Lincoln's birthday on February 12, 1900 where J. Rosamond Johnson served as principal.
Lift every voice and sing
Till earth and heaven ring
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty
Let our rejoicing rise
High as the listening skies
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun
Let us march on till victory is won

Dear Golden Buffaloes,
I want to thank you for the past 9 years of amazing music, marching, magic and memories as a Golden Buffalo at Wichita Southeast High School. I am moving to Wi******er, Virginia this summer to be closer to our grandchildren and will teach elementary music there. I will miss you more than you can ever know, but am so pleased that you will be left in the very capable hands of Ms. Gimson and whoever is selected to be your new Band Director!
I am proud that you all worked so hard this past year to learn our "Dream On" 2021 Fall Field Show. Your new Director will be so excited to work with all of you and help you keep your SEHSBUFFMUSIC traditions LOUD & PROUD & STRONG like owning the HOME & PLAY-OFF GAME BASKETBALL HYPE traditions, EARNING SUPERIOR RATINGS at DCA and STATE and SOLO/ENSEMBLE traditions, SEHS HALL MARCHES & PEP RALLY traditions, and more!
They will also enjoy getting to CREATE NEW TRADITIONS with you like HOME GAME AT YOUR NEW HOME FOOTBALL STADIUM TRADITIONS, and creating EVEN MORE NEW SEHS TRADITIONS for Band Camp, School Spirit, and MORE!!!!
This is not goodbye, it is see you later. I will follow your continued success on Facebook and any other platforms that your Directors post about you on, and I will always be a Golden Buffalo. Thank you for the Life Lessons, Buffs, you are Pure Gold. πΆππ€π
