FMA Scholarship Applications Are Due March 31st!

Students:

This is a reminder!  FMA Scholarship applications are DUE by midnight March 31st!

The application is online, and the link is:  http://foxboromusic.com/scholarships/scholarship/

This is an excellent opportunity to take part in a very low-pressure scholarship audition to win money to be used for musical opportunities (such as voice lessons!)

The actual auditions are a ways off, but the application MUST be submitted by the deadline.  

If you need assistance choosing an appropriate song to audition with, contact me, and I will give you some good ideas.

Thank you,

Mr. Raymond

Snow Day Updates: Jazz Band Concert Tonight 7:30pm

Singers,

I hope this second snow day finds you and your families happy, warm, and well!

If you have not looked over your music since last rehearsal, you should set aside some time today to practice, or at the very least, listen to recordings/part tracks with your score and do some studying!  We are now one week away from our Spring Concert and MICCA.

Just a reminder, we will have Treble Choir rehearsal after school Thursday and next week on Monday and Wednesday.

Finally, just a quick news item.  Tonight there is a free concert happening at the high school!  Both Jazz Bands will be performing in a special concert tonight (this is a makeup from their MAJE Jazz Festival that got snowed out).  A guest "adjudicator" will be coming out to listen to the bands and give them both clinics right on stage as well as an MAJE medal rating.  This concert is free and open to the public.  Concert Choir singer Julia will be performing in this concert on Bass!  If you are free, please consider coming out tonight to this free concert to hear both Jazz Bands.  Concert starts at 7:30pm, and is ON despite the snow day today.

See you in rehearsals Thursday, please do your best to be on time (unless we have a delay)!

-Mr. Raymond
