Subject: [MK8]Middle school curriculum suggestions needed

As a K-8 gen. music teacher in a Catholic school, I
am expected to prepare 2 whole school programs during
the year. I'm a 1st yr. teacher and am struggling to
find a curriculum balance with my middlers between
concept teaching, focusing on teaching areas (music
appreciation kinds of things), and singing in order to
prepare for programs. We do not have a choir program
so the 7-8th graders HAVE to sing. Would any of you
who may be in a similar situation be willing to share
a synopsis of the curriculum you use and how you
balance out your activities? I see each of my classes
2x a week for the whole year. Thanks in advance.
