Another awesome visit!

Missy Mazzoli worked this past Monday and Tuesday to polish the DMS students' four compositions. Each of the four groups worked with Missy to sing through the new compositions and make improvements. Working in real-time on her computer (on a program called Sibelius), Missy inputted the edits dictated by the students. There were great discussions amongst the kids about the placement of hard to sing words and addressing the musical needs of their peers in the chorus. Each of the groups then sang through the finished product.

We were also visited by Danielle Sanzone from the Troy Record, who interviewed Missy and two students. The article may be seen here:


Thanks to Ms. Hermance and Mr. Vatalaro for working so tirelessly with the kids – they are always ready to work and well prepared! We are SO excited to debut the finished product this May.
