Student musicians toot their horns, celebrate Music In Our Schools Month

RCS students are celebrating Music In Our Schools Month this month.

The month of March is recognized nationally as Music In Our Schools Month and RCS students are tooting their own horns about the power and importance of music education in grades K-12.

The RCS Middle School Music Department presented two concerts last week and the performances continued this week with High School musicians performing on Thursday.

The elementary schools join the celebration the last week of the month with the Pieter B. Coeymans Elementary School Grade 5 Band and Chorus concert taking place on March 25th, starting at 7 p.m. at the P.B.C. Elementary School. The A.W. Becker Elementary School Grade 5 Band and Chorus concert is scheduled for March 26th, 7 p.m. at the elementary school.

Additionally, RCS music students from the middle school and high school will also be well represented at the Greene County Music Educators Association Spring All-County Festival at the end of the month.  The All-County concert will be held at Catskill High School on Friday, March 28th at 7:30 p.m., said High School Music Teacher Scott Andrews.
