SPARTAN SPRING MUSIC FESTIVAL
CONGRATULATIONS, SOUTHSIDE MUSICIANS!
Mr. Hammond, Mrs. Chagnon, Mr. Baberadt, and Mr. Cleary would like to congratulate the Southside Band, Chorus, and Orchestra for their outstanding performances at Saturday’s Spartan Spring Music Festival!
Thank you to the faculty and students that attended – we were so grateful to see you there to support us! Huge appreciation goes out to Mrs. Nee for attending and opening the building bright and early; and to Mr. Wyborney for staying throughout the entire day and helping with breakdown and clean up. We would also like to thank the Physical Education Department – Mr. Criscone and Ms. Feeley – for the use of their classroom for dress rehearsals and performances. Finally, a big thank you to our administrative assistants – Mrs. Levesque, Mrs. Cameron, and Mrs. Morrissey – for their support and help with coverage. The Music Department is so grateful for such a supportive Southside community and family.
The Music Department is so very proud of our amazing musicians! Thank you for your dedication, commitment, and hard work. We are especially proud of our 8th grade musicians as they move on to high school!
