Dear Edwina

This year’s Middle School musical may be the best yet! Here is a little preview-

AGT and HS A Cappella

A video of the High School A Cappella Singers performing “Fix You” at their Winter Concert was posted on YouTube. Of the 600 or so hits it received, one was from a casting producer from America’s Got Talent. He called me yesterday afternoon, told me he loved the performance, and wants the group to audition for the show. Of course, NYC auditions are tomorrow. The kids found out this morning, and they, along with their director Meg Messina, are getting ready for their scheduled audition. (This is an open call, but because AGT contacted us, the choir will bypass the line and will be brought directly to the producers for their audition.)

If things go as hoped, the next stage will be performing on stage in front of Howie, Sharon, Howard, and a packed theater…

Please join me in congratulating Meg and the kids and in wishing them the best.

Pay it Forward

Watch this video from a Binghamton News station about a fundraiser they recently held. It is in response to the “golden Rule” project our parents ran two years when Binghamton was flooded from Hurricane Irene. Any monies donated to us we will forward to those school districts most heavily damaged.
