Students in grades 3-5 at Broadalbin-Perth Intermediate School have the opportunity to join thousands of students from the Greater Capital Region as performers in the American Young Voices concert on June 7 at the Times Union Center in Albany. Sign-ups are going on now through Feb. 7, and rehearsals will take place every Friday after school until 4 p.m. starting March 2.
American Young Voices is educational program that uses music to help students develop such skills as communication, collaboration, creativity and innovation. Participating students perform in a giant choral concert, where they are accompanied by a professional band and served by a professional stage crew.
“American Young Voices boosts students’ confidence and creates lifelong memories for the performers and their families,” said B-P elementary music teacher Mary Rasefske. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime event for all involved!”
To register, parents should complete the registration form that was sent home (extras are available in the intermediate school office) and return it to Mrs. Rasefske no later than Wednesday, Feb. 7. Parents and other family members will have the opportunity to purchase tickets to the concert online for $30 each, as well as optional t-shirts for their participating children.
