Middle school musicians steal the show at the upper school

To ensure that the show would go on, the postponed concert was combined with an upcoming band concert, then moved from Swenson Hall at the middle school to the much-larger upper school venue. The evening's concert resembled a field trip for the young musicians, who traveled from the middle school by bus to the upper school immediately after school. Upon arrival, they rehearsed, ate dinner together, did homework and then changed into their concert attire by showtime.

Director of Arts Shawn Costantino emceed the event, and RE performing arts faculty conducted: Scott O'Donnell led all three string orchestras; Laura Montes directed the vocal ensemble; and Cathi Leibinger the band students. The evening included the usual middle school medley: updates from the various directors on the students' progress to provide a backdrop for their performances.
