Awarded Grant: Music to our ears!
Responding to a request from Terry Reynolds, director of the bands and strings programs at SIS, SEF annually approves funding for up to 10 musical instrument rental scholarships to students who would have otherwise been unable to participate.
One of the many SEF grants Steve Chetcuti has received to make our SMS music program so wonderful, he was given the funds to purchase a digital music studio with computers, key-boards, microphones and software for instrumental music students to practice, compose and record music for auditions and for archiving their musical accomplishments.
The SHS Marching Band’s Lauren Campbell was awarded a grant to purchase a used tuba and used baritone horn, to replace “instrumental” pieces that make our Marching Band such a wonderful treat!
