Music Notes

Three upcoming musical events will involve students and faculty in the Scarsdale Schools in March. Fifth Grade Visit: On the morning of Wednesday, March 16th, every fifth grader in the district will visit Scarsdale Middle School to attend a music and world language curriculum presentation. The event will help fifth graders make choices for sixth grade registration. The current sixth grade band, chorus, orchestra, and Exploring Music classes will be performing, and Sarah Whittington will make a presentation on behalf of the World Language Department.

Seussical, jr: Eighth graders in the SMS Players, will present Seussical, jr on March 18 and 19 at 7:30 in the Middle School auditorium. There is reserved seating for $10 a ticket. A sale held during intermission will raise money to donate to the Feed Foundation, an organization that makes sure that school age children both here and abroad get a nourishing breakfast. Last year the SMS Players donated $2500.

Chamber Music Recital: Scarsdale music faculty will host a Chamber Music Recital on Thursday, March 24th, 2011 at 7:30 pm in the Scarsdale High School Music Tower. The concert is free and open to the community and will feature a performance by district music teachers.
