SOMS Music Department Field Trip a Huge Success!

186 students enjoyed a production of “42nd Street” at the Westchester Broadway Theatre this February. Representing the major performing ensembles of SOMS, students witnessed the spectacles of live professional and high-quality acting, dancing, music, lighting, and set design... many for the first time! Our students were commended by theater administration and staff, actors/actresses, and several additional parties in attendance for their outstanding behavior and enthusiasm. Many thanks to the SOCSD community for supporting our students and Music Department!

The Halls Are Alive With The Sound Of Music
Music filled the air at the South Orangetown Middle School in preparation for their music department's winter concert. Students from Cottage Lane Elementary were invited to the middle school to hear a dress rehearsal of the Treble Choir, under the direction of Mr. Charles Yassky; the Symphonic Orchestra, under the baton of Mr. Matthew Rotjan; the Symphonic Band, under the leadership of Ms. Janice Tocco; and the 7th & 8th Grade Chorale, led by Ms. Priscilla Pena-Carney. New sounds as well as some old holiday favorites were on tap as all four groups rehearsed their parts and practiced their entrances and exits to the enjoyment of their young and appreciative audience.
