The week before Thanksgiving break was an eventful one in the Music Department!
The High School Concert Choir was invited to perform at the conference for the Chief Justices and their Supreme Courts and the State Court Administrators of New England. WUHSMS Alumnus the Honorable Harold Eaton Jr. (Class of 1973) who serves on the Vermont Supreme Court invited the Concert Choir to open up the conference with the Star Spangled Banner.
Twelve students from WUHSMS were selected to participate in the Connecticut Valley District Music Festival which brings together the very best musicians from southeastern Vermont for a two day festival. Participants worked with some of New England’s finest conductors, rehearsing over 10 hours and then sharing a wonderful performance. This is the first time musicians from WUHSMS have attended the festival in over 13 years. Henry Butler, Grace Falk Davidson, Izzy Gieder, Jacquelyn Melendy, Bree Sarandrea, & Sierra Townsend participated in the Middle School Chorus. Bowie Appelfeller, Ava Byrne, Mari Maxham, Astrid McFarland, & Sadie Rowlee participated in the Middle School Jazz Band. Lia Gugliotta participated in the High School Concert Band. Bravo tutti!
