Rehearsal time!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Students from W.T. Cooke Elementary recently performed the national anthem at a Norfolk Admirals hockey game for the first time.<\/p>\n

Students in the fifth grade chorus were excited in the weeks leading up to the Feb. 1 performance at Norfolk Scope, fifth grade teacher Logan Berns said.<\/p>\n

\u201cStudents have been very motivated during rehearsals and are really looking forward to the upcoming opportunity,\u201d Berns said.<\/p>\n

Music teacher Apollo Simon was interested in having the fifth grade chorus perform. The Admirals’ mascot, Salty, knows Cooke Elementary well as he has attended the school\u2019s spirit assemblies.<\/p>\n

Cooke students had performed the national anthem at the school’s turkey bowl, but this was a much larger event.<\/p>\n

Several students and staff attended the game as part of a spirit night. One of the Admirals players, Pavel Padakin, is the father of a Cooke pre-kindergarten student. The family emigrated to Virginia Beach from Ukraine.<\/p>\n

\u201cStudents did a wonderful job and the performance went well,\u201d Berns said. \u201cIt was the largest audience the students have performed for and they enjoyed the entire experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
