2023 WINTER CONCERT AND INFORMANCES PICTURES
Winter Wonderland Parade - 2023 (having fun before we step off)
Here is a link to the 2023 "Seniors We Love" Slide Show.
Enjoy these Spring Concert pictures! Thank you to Mrs. Kulow for taking these pictures.
above pictures: The Carthage College Wind Ensemble, under the direction of Dr. James Ripley, joined the seventh grade band for a workshop on May 25. College musicians presented in a "side-by-side" concert while FRMS middle school students directly observed and listened up close while following collegiate-level music. College students interacted, mentored and encouraged our young musicians and the morning concluded with the Carthage members playing alongside our FRMS students on a selection from our recent concert. It was a wonderful and exciting morning and the perfect ending for our Spring Concert season!
below pictures: Ms. Rivest joined the Chamber Strings for a masterclass before students attended Solo and Ensemble Festival.
