SEE YOU AT AUDITIONS!!! JANUARY 31st in the MUSIC ROOM :) After all of their hard work preparing for and performing in this year's Band and Chorus "Holiday Concert," the students of the Amagansett School Bands and Chorus had one more thing to do....
The bands and chorus watched a DVD recording of their performance in "The Holiday Cocnert" and then were tasked with writing a newspaper review article about the show, their opinions of it, and anything else they would like to share with me about this massive undertaking. Students had about three weeks to gather their thoughts, write an article and either use apre-designed template or create their own unique way of sharing their review with me. As an added bonus, I promised that the best articles would be posted on the music website to share with our families, friends, and community. And now, for the moment you've all been waiting for..... the winners of "The Holiday Concert" Article Contest!!!!!!
