If you couldn't make it this year, watch for information about next year's celebration and mark it on your calendar. You'll have a marvelous time and bid on (and hopefully win!) some really great items!
Our annual Performathon is coming up on March 14th and we hope you'll either be participating as a musician or supporting someone who is. Show encouragement for our student musicians by making a monetary pledge toward their performance and/or attending one of the three sites where students will be performing. It's a great event and your enthusiasm and encouragement will be contagious! Please come by and help us celebrate the joy of making music. Attendance at the event is free!
As we enter into March, enjoy a little Irish music and kick up your heels. Our next musicale, "McFarland at MacFarland" is coming up on March 22nd and it will be an exciting event with musician Tom McFarland and the CVSM Jazz Quartet. Plan to attend and call to make your reservations today!

Performing in Support of CVSM Musical Arts Education
The Cumberland Valley School of Music is presenting Performathon 2009 on Saturday, March 14, at three locations in Chambersburg. The Performathon is a marathon recital that celebrates the joy of making music, featuring hours of continuous performances by hundreds of CVSM students of all ages and abilities, as well as several CVSM faculty members.
This year, the event will be held at two locations on the campus of Wilson College, Chambersburg, PA - Thomson Chapel and Allen Auditorium in Warfield Hall - as well as at the Chambersburg Mall (Exit #20 off I-81). Students will perform at all three location beginning at 9:00AM at Thomson Hall, and 10:00AM at Allen Auditorium and Chambersburg Mall, continuing until the last performer has played at around 2:00 pm. Admission to the Performathon is free and open to the public. Attendees can attend any of the three locations, at any time and stay as long as they like - for four minutes or four hours.
CVSM students will sing or perform on a wide variety of instruments, including piano, guitar, brass instruments, woodwinds, and string instruments. In addition, the styles of music performed will cover the gamut from classical to musical theatre, rock to jazz, and with skill levels ranging from beginner to advanced. While many individual students will perform, the Performathon will also feature several ensembles, ranging from classical duets to the Cumberbunds youth chorus to Rock & Roll groups.
Students participating in the Performathon are encouraged to raise monetary  pledges from friends, family, and community members in support of the Cumberland Valley School of Music. Area businesses have contributed prizes for the students who obtain the most pledges, and this year prizes include a Nintendo Wii gaming system, a Tregan Electric or Bass Guitar, an I-Pod Touch, a Nikon Coolpix digital camera, a Jasmine by Takamine Acoustic Guitar, 2 hours recording time at M&M Recording Studio, season tickets to Totem Pole Playhouse, numerous gift certificates to area stores and eateries, and much more. Hourly door prizes will also be available for participants.
"The Performathon is a celebration of music and the arts in our community, with students of all ages and abilities performing for the joy of it, and in support of their community school of music," says CVSM executive director Andrew Sussman. "There's never been a better time for making music and our students' Performathon participation reminds us of the multitude of positive effects music can have on our lives - whether performer or audience member, amateur or professional, young or old. Music is part of the fabric of our lives and brings enjoyment to us all."
