"Hairspray!" Visits MSMS

The BHS Music Department's production of "Hairspray!" went on tour this week.  One of their stops was Marshall Simonds Middle School.  Students in 7th Grade got to watch the high school students perform several songs from their show, which runs March 15, 16, 22, 23, and 24 at the High School.  Several students from the MSMS Select Chorus even helped out on spotlight.  It was a great time!

Two of our staff are involved in the production, as well.  Mr. Mullen is the music director, and our own Mrs. Medvitz is playing keyboard in the pit.

Be sure to come see the show!  Tickets and info here: http://www.burlingtontheatre.com/
