Saturday, Dec. 2, 2023, the school celebrated its annual Music Fest. Students in sixth through twelfth grade performed for friends and family.
The performers did an amazing job and we give our congratulations to them all.
“MusicFest was great and everything went smoothly. The Stroudsburg Area Music Supports (SAMS) helped and organized everything, so a special thank you to them,” says orchestra teacher, Ms. Wendy Wilson, “The performances of the tenth and eleventh-grade orchestra were awesome.”
During the performance, the orchestra played a Trans-Siberian piece called “Mass Russian’s Christmas” and announced that student Ethan Custard, 12, will be playing with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra on Dec. 21 in Wilkes-Barre at the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza. He will be joined by Ms. Wilson.
This week, musical auditions for the Stroudsburg High School’s performance of The Prom are happening. They will be held Dec. 6 and Dec. 7. Those auditioning are to meet immediately after school in the High School Auditorium.
To participate in the musical students must meet academic eligibility, maintain good attendance at school, and stay clear of disciplinary actions. Students can find more information posted outside of the music rooms in the downstairs C wing by room C100 along with the code to the Google Classroom (57acapi).
Other upcoming performances by SHS Choir and SHS Chorale include the annual alumni show set to take place on December 18, 2023, in the SHS auditorium.
Congratulations to another successful Music Fest and to Custard, Wilson, the Show Choir and Chorale, and all those auditioning for the musical.
