The gyms and auditoriums across West Haven have been alive with music these past two weeks as over 1,000 students across the district performed their winter concerts for fellow students, school staff, and family members. Songs in many languages, songs to celebrate the holiday season, an audience candy cane toss mid-performance, a “trip” on the Polar Express, student directors, and a sing-a-long live streamed to loved ones at home – our performances had it all!
Congratulations to all the student musicians on their wonderful performances after months of practice and hard work and thank you to our music teachers, band and chorus leaders, teachers, administrators, and families for all you do behind the scenes to help make these performances so wonderful.
