If you missed the past weekend performance of “Grease” performed by our Middle School and High School students you missed a great opportunity to be entertained. The talent and music of the performance
was outstanding and made it hard to believe that we were not on Broadway! I would like to take the time to thank not only the performers but the people behind the scenes who created the sets, worked the lights, the curtain and the very efficient stage crew who moved the show along with ease. The music provided by the pit band was outstanding and thanks to the following: Norm Mosher, Lane Schermerhorn, Josh Makler, Randy Rollman, and Karl Pritchard. I would also like to recognize Mr. Larry Nichols, Barbro Aldridge, Laurie Pritchard, Stacey Constant, Christina Taylor and Michael Longo for the long hours and dedication to our students to be able to present such a stellar performance! The annual Senior Dinner and a Show event was attended by 50 plus seniors. This is an event that I look forward to every year. Linda Snyder, Cafeteria Manager out does herself every year with her creativity of a meal and decorations to go along with the theme of the performance. I so appreciate the remarks of some of the attendees that come from surrounding areas and from much larger districts, their appreciation and hometown feeling that they get when they come to Corinth for this event. We certainly are unique in that we encompass a feeling of belonging in this community.

Music News
March is “Music In Our Schools Month” (MIOSM). We are celebrating with two exciting concerts at the high school, both open to the public. We hope many members of the community can attend! On Tuesday, March 16, the HS Concert Band and the Capital Region Celtic Pipe Band will share an evening of Celtic music. The CRC Pipe Band, now based in Latham, NY, competes throughout the Northeast at Scottish games and won the Northeast Pipe Band Championship in 2007.
On Tuesday, March 30, HS vocalists will present the Cabin Fever Concert with special guests, the Skidmore Bandersnatchers. For the past few years, this concert has been an enjoyable evening of a capella singing and showmanship.
Both concerts begin at 7PM. Refreshments will be available at intermission. Donations are accepted at the door and will go to the Corinth Music Boosters. The funds raised go towards supporting the music program at Corinth including scholarships, senior recognition, special festival trips and bringing local musicians and groups in to perform with our musical ensembles.
