The Franklin Square Union Free School District celebrated Music in Our Schools Month with student performances and recognitions during the Board of Education meeting on March 11.
The evening began with a performance by Polk Street School’s sixth-grade chorus, which had the honor of singing at Radio City Music Hall in November as part of the Sounds of Christmas Experience program. After submitting an a cappella audition recording last school year, the ensemble was selected to perform “New Year’s Day” by Pentatonix under the direction of vocal music teacher Christina Tuzzolo. The chorus performed the same selection again for the audience at the meeting.
Next, All-County band students from John Street School, Polk Street School and Washington Street School performed their New York State School Music Association (NYSSMA) solos.
