Vocal Jazz Singers!!
One of the most important performances of the entire year is coming up this Friday May 29!! This will be the final performance of the year for the Vocal Jazz Ensemble! It is the 2015 Southport "Pastabilities" Night.
This is a very important performance because it is for the residents of Southport and administration who have supported the music program and have given much towards scholarships and the school district.
Important Notes:
- Please arrive at Southport between 7:00-7:30pm (No later than 7:30pm, please do not be late!)
- All Black for girls...Black pants/dress shirt/tie for boys--black shoes black socks
- Our program order will be: I Could Write A Book, Body And Soul, Up From New Orleans, Streets
- Same solos as the spring concert (Jeff Demanche will take a guitar solo on streets)
Any questions or last minute concerns, please email me ASAP: braymond@mashpee.k12.ma.us
I expect to see everyone there for a fun night of music---there will be treats for you guys back in the warmup room (like last year!)
See you there! - Mr. Raymond
(Please keep your eyes posted for upcoming information regarding June 3rd School Board Meeting Performance, Class Day, Graduation, and the Middle School Spring Concert)

I am very proud of all of you and the tremendous work we put in this year.
Thank you to all the parents and families members who came out to the concert and for all those who continue to support the students and the music program! This would not be possible without you!

Berklee Decision
Students and Parents:
After discussions with Mr. Troyanos and the principal, we've unfortunately decided to cancel the trip to Berklee this year. This decision is based on some concerns raised involving the safety of traveling Saturday morning along with the fact that school is canceled Friday. It is unfortunate to miss the festival this year, but we will look into other potential festivals for the spring. Thank you for your understanding. Enjoy your long weekend and, I will see you all on Monday.
