Fifth-grade students from Duffield, Cherokee Street and Slocum Elementary Schools recently traveled to Ronkonkoma Middle School to get a glimpse of the multiple musical initiatives they will be able to take part in come next school year.

During the program, the students were introduced to the school’s music department faculty and staff and heard several performances from the RMS Jazz Band and Show Choir, to name a few. 

Before being dismissed, the students were shown a highly informative PowerPoint presentation highlighting all of the wonderful opportunities they will be able to look forward to within the RMS music program. These included performing at concerts and the Bohemia Memorial Day parade, as well as membership to the Tri-M Music Honor Society. The students were particularly excited to learn that if they pursue music into the high school setting, they will be invited to travel to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida alongside the entire music department to showcase their musical skills and build camaraderie with their classmates.
