MSMS Select Chorus Goes "On the Road!"

On Friday, September 26th, the Burlington Public Schools were recognized as one of top districts for music education in the country.  As part of the celebration, we won a special two day-residency with the John Lennon tour bus, which is a mobile, state of the art recording and video studio.  More info here:   http://www.lennonbus.org/

In addition to interesting panels and discussions about music education, there were several performances, including the MSMS Select Chorus.  We performed "Seasons of Love" along with last year's House Band.  It was a wonderful reunion.

Special thanks to Mr. Middleton-Cox for being such a gracious host. (I know MSMS had more than its fair share of cookies!)
