ARMANETTI GOING TO SYMPHONY HALL
The top high school musicians from all over Massachusetts met at Shrewsbury High School on January 25th to audition for the 60th Massachusetts Music Educators’ All State Music Festival. They were judged on a challenging solo piece as well as on their ability to sight read and play certain scales. This year CMHS clarinetist Casey Armanetti was accepted into this prestigious festival for the second time. She looks forward to spending two and a half days practicing with her fellow All State musicians at the World Trade Center in Boston from March 20th through the 22nd. The highlight of that final day of practice will be a fantastic concert at Boston’s Symphony Hall where these enthusiastic and dedicated young adults will showcase their hard work and talent while creating a memory to last a life time.

CONGRATULATIONS CARVER MUSICIANS

On November 23, hundreds of band and chorus students in grades 9-12 from approximately 85 towns throughout the Southeastern District of Massachusetts traveled to King Philip Regional High School in Wrentham to audition for a chance to participate in the Massachusetts Music Educators Southeast District Senior Festival. All of the young musicians and vocalists who were accepted met again on January 10 & 11 at Silver Lake Regional High School for a day and half of intense rehearsing, which culminated in a phenomenal concert showcasing their hard work and talent. After the judging was completed, seven Carver High School music students landed coveted spots on stage including vocalists Matt Chasey, Alana Dunham, Andrew Foster, Brian Glaneuski, and Nathaniel Singer, as well as clarinetist Casey Armanetti and trumpeter Allie Guimaraes. It should also be noted that students who score in the top 50% of the competition are also invited to audition for the All State Music Festival held at Symphony Hall in March, and this year Casey and Allie earned that distinction. They will travel to Shrewsbury in January for their audition. Congratulations to these fine musicians and vocalists. We are proud of their remarkable accomplishments!
