Performances, Performances, Performances!

Wow. The first week of December was jam-packed with performance opportunities!

Thursday, Dec 3: Shop the Block
Our music students acted as roving street musicians performing in local stores participating in this year's Shop the Block. Proceeds from raffle prizes will be donated to Creative Arts! Thank you!

Friday, Dec 4: Student Performance Night & Art Show
We hold monthly performance opportunities for our music and theatre students. This year, the December performance night also served as an art show for students in visual art classes to display their hard work. Here are a few examples (to enlarge, click on the photos):
From Manga Illustration for Teens

Artwork from Drawing 101 (Ages 4-6) & Painting 101 (Ages 7-9)

Clay Mania (Ages 4-7)

Saturday, Dec 5: Festival of Trees
Our donated tree won "Most Unusual." We had a bright red tensile tree with art, music and theatre ornaments complete with gift bags and certificates.

Sunday, Dec 6: Parker Tavern Open House
A few music students, along with Reading's Girl Scout Troops, provided inspiring music for the day. The snow put all visitors in the mood for the holidays! For those that are not familiar with the Parker Tavern, it is Reading's oldest building circa mid 1600's. For more information, visit the Parker Tavern or contact the Reading Antiquarian Society, http://parkertavern.org/.

Thank you to everyone who performed and contributed to a fantastic week!
