It’s been an incredible two weeks of music making in Mount Vernon!
The Festival of Bands, Orchestra Extravaganza, and Choir All-Sing Concert featured musicians from all three Mount Vernon Schools. MVMS 5th Graders performed their annual musical to a roaring success. The same night, the MVHS jazz band performed at the incredible Voxman Auditorium as a part of KCCK’s Corridor Jazz Project. And don’t forget the pep band traveling to the State basketball tournament and District jazz competitions somewhere in between!
Congratulations to our incredible fine arts programs on an amazing two weeks!
