You're Invited! CCSD Music Department and Friends Band Concert, Fundraiser

CLARKSTOWN, NY — The CCSD Music Department and Friends Band holds their annual Fundraiser Concert on Wednesday in the South High School Auditorium.

All of Clarkstown's music teachers in the K-12 Fine Arts Department, joined by some of their most talented friends and awe inspiring students from both high schools, will perform to raise funds for CCSD students participating in performing groups. Proceeds will also be used to purchase music and help defray entrance fees for students who would like to participate in the NYSSMA Evaluation Festival in May 2017.

The night will include a variety of musical styles; jazz, rock, Broadway, classical and pop tunes.

The special guest musician this year will be Superintendent Martin Cox playing the bodhrán (see below).

Organizers are also honored to have award winning performer Anika Maxwell Larsen and her husband FFMS music educator Fred Maxwell participate in the evening with their rendition of Bruno Mars' "Count on Me." Anika is a recipient of the Drama Desk Award, Outer Critics Circle Award and a Tony Nomination for her portrayal as Cynthia Weil in "Beautiful."

All are invited to the free concert. Donations of any amount will be gratefully accepted.
