Fine Arts TAPPS at EWS, Volunteers Needed
The Music Department at The Emery/Weiner School will host the Region IV TAPPS Music Contest - an Emery First! While most of you know TAPPS through an athletic capacity, the TAPPS organization has contests also in instrumental music (symphonic band and orchestra), vocal music and visual art.
On March 1- 2, more than 20 schools in the Region VI area will come to EWS to present their best musical works in large ensemble, small ensemble, and solo music performances. Among the entries is our very own Upper School JagChoir singing three large ensemble pieces.
During these two days, the Fine Arts Booster Club will offer concessions to the schools. We are in need of volunteers to help work the concession stand for a few hours each day. If you have the time and want to join in on the Emery Excitement contact Alyssa Tiras or Micki Bronston to sign up and get more information.
As always we thank you for your support and Go Jags!
