Vermont Midi Project Opus 20 Winners

Three eighth grade students have had their original compositions chosen by the Vermont Midi Project to be played in a public performance. Emily King was chosen for her composition called "Happy" and Joann Barton and Tracey Crocker (both second time winners)were chosen for their piece "The Song With No Name". The three girls will travel with their teacher, Miss Jarvis, to Brattleboro on April 28 to attend workshops and rehearse their pieces with professional musicians. The day will culminate with a public performance of all the pieces. Students from all over Vermont participated in the composing and on-line discussions and revisions with mentors. There were only 24 pieces chosen state-wide for this honor. Congratulations!
