An enthusiastic and spectacular showing was performed when the annual Spring Music Assemblies were staged at the Bridgewater-Raritan Middle School on Friday, June 13.
The Middle School auditorium was buzzing on the final Friday of the school year when a total of 11 musical groups performed before an audience that included Middle School students, staff and administrators and school district officials.
This lively concert series has been a tradition at the Middle School for over 25 years.
This year’s edition produced energy—- and some sweet sounds.
The Faculty Choir sang twice—and quite well— under the guidance of Middle School Choral Director Gabriele Hingelberg.
Here are the Middle School music directors and their student groups
Gabriele Hingelberg - Chorale, Mixed Choir, Treble Choir, Dolce, and Sol
Caty Butler - 8th Grade Orchestra and Symphony Orchestra
Tim Nuzzetti - 7th Grade Orchestra, 7th Grade Modern Band, and 8th Grade Modern Band
Ashlen Udell - 7th Grade Band, Wind Ensemble, and Clarinet Ensemble
Barron Caromno -8th Garnd Band and Jazz Band
The Lunch Orchestra was conducted by student leaders and was student-run for the school year.
The audience included Matt McCarthy, the Bridgewater-Raritan Regional School District Supervisor for Arts Education, who applauded the final concert of the school year.
“What a joyous way to celebrate the end of the school year. These groups sound better than they have sounded all year,” Mr. McCarthy said. “Having the entire student body gathered to perform and appreciate great music is a perfect expression of the spirit that drives these programs: music is for everyone!”
