WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (FEBRUARY 14, 2023) — The Williamsport Area School District’s music department presented its 50th annual All-District Choir concert Monday night at the Williamsport Area High School auditorium.
The program featured the talent of about 300 student singers ranging from grades six through 12, offering a strong sampling of the district’s choral program.
Musical selections were played among the blend of students, culminating with Simon and Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Waters,” a performance by the combined student ensemble.
The district’s comprehensive music program boasts ten vocal groups, three bands and three orchestras. Specialized groups like the Strolling Strings, Marching Millionaires, orchestras, and vocal ensembles are often invited to perform at various community events, and have even performed at the White House. For the last two decades, the music program has earned national recognition as one of the “Best Communities for Music Education” by the NAMM Foundation.
