7th Grade Musicians Performed at Briarcliff Holiday Sing

News from the Briarcliff schools

Seventh-grade instrumentalists were invited to take part in the Village of Briarcliff Manor’s annual Holiday Sing-Along on Dec. 7.

“We had 12 students volunteer and we prepared holiday music with extra rehearsals after school for a few weeks,” said Briarcliff Middle School band teacher Christopher Melito.

The flutists, trumpeters, clarinetist, saxophonist, French horn player, euphonium player and percussionist helped brighten the beginning of the holiday season for village residents at Law Memorial Park, along with the Briarcliff Manor Recreation Department.

“We performed for people as they entered the event by playing Christmas and Hanukkah selections specifically arranged for this ensemble,” Melito said. “Despite the cold weather, the students performed well and enjoyed being part of the festivities.”
