Choral Ensembles
Choral Night: Groups are gearing up for our year end concert. Choral Night will be on Wednesday, May 8, at 7pm, at Galvin Middle School, and will feature Chorale, Treble Choir, Chamber Singers, and the Wakefield A Cappella groups.
NAfME All-Eastern Chorus: Congratulations to Gavin Frey and Elisabeth Nordeen on their performance with the All-Eastern Mixed and Treble Choruses! The students spent several days in Pittsburgh rehearsing with Dr. Rollo Dilworth and Dr. Sandra Snow, which culminated in a performance at the Spirit of Pittsburgh Ballroom on Sunday, April 7. It is a huge honor to have had two students represent Wakefield High School at the All-Eastern festival, which includes students from eleven states from Maine to Delaware.
Thank you, Ms. Forbes! We have been lucky to have a such wonderful student teacher. Ms. Forbes’ last day at Wakefield High School is May 8th. Thank you, Ms. Forbes for all your hard work!
UNIFORMS: Students may begin turning in uniforms after the Choral Night concert on May 8. Students will need to have their uniforms dry-cleaned. They should be returned in the blue bag, clearly labelled with their names, with the dry-cleaning receipt attached.
