Grier Graduation Performances Video
Traditionally, Grier invites families to attend a special evening of dance and music performances prior to the cherished Candlelight ceremony the evening before the Commencement Ceremony. To preserve the health and safety of the Grier community through the end of the school year, these events were recorded days before the 2021 Commencement Ceremony.
Congratulations to the dancers, musicians, and vocalists on your accomplishments this year. You all make performing with masks look fabulous! You gave us fantastic performances, despite limited rehearsals and challenges of Covid-19. You really demonstrated hard work and commitment to your art and we appreciate the joy and emotion you have shared with us through your music and movement.
