7/8 Jazz Choir Goes On Tour

On Friday, June 2nd, the 7/8 Jazz Choir went on "tour" to three different nursing homes in Yarmouth; Brentwood Rehab, Bay Square, and Coastal Manor.  At each stop the jazz choir performed a variety show consisting of full group songs and small group/solo songs with guitars, ukuleles, piano, etc.

This was an outstanding day and a great experience for our students. They were joyful at the opportunity to give of themselves; their audiences was extremely appreciative of the way they shared their time and talent, and the wonderful interactions that that happened as a result of their visit.

Congratulations to our 8th grade students for their hard work on their Civil Rights Projects. Parents and students were treated to informative and engaging projects on a variety of themes in the history of Civil Rights. The deep learning and the creativity on display was an inspiration to our school community. Additionally, the work of our 8th grade students in this project reminds us to continue to uphold our school's core values of respect, compassion, and responsibility.

Mr. C. Publishes New Music

We're pleased to let you know that HMS Band Director, Brad Ciechomski,  has had two more of his pieces published, making a total of 21 pieces published during his career to date! 

 

We invite you to listen to  Let It Begin, which Mr. C. wrote for a younger band, as an opener or closer for a concert, and Ascending The Crystal Hill, which has been commissioned by the NH band association for the All State MS festival.  Mount Washington is known as the crystal hill because it's covered with snow for most of the year. We know that you will enjoy this beautiful and inspiring music and much as we do.

 

Congratulations to Brad! We continue to learn from all he has to share with students, staff, and our community, as we appreciate his wonderful music!
