A sign that spring is about to be sprung is the sounds of music that fill the air—-and a tv video screen— from the students in the Bridgewater-Raritan Regional School District
The first official day of spring is Tuesday, March 19, but the Bridgewater-Raritan Regional School District will tee off an engaging and entertaining Spring Concert series with its signature event of the school year—-the Festival of the Arts.
This popular and well-attended event that presents the many talents of the Bridgewater-Raritan students who are involved in the school district’s highly productive fine and performing arts program is performed four times during the year.
The students from various schools assemble at Bridgewater Raritan High School’s spacious Vaughn Stapleton Gymnasium to deliver their entertaining performances.
The first of these four shows will be the Chorus Concert, which will be staged on Wednesday, March 12.
A week later, those sweet sounds will be replaced by musical instruments when the Orchestra Concert is played on Wednesday, March 20, and the Band Concert is performed on Thursday, March 21.
All three concerts will kick off at 7 p.m.
The fourth and final Festival of Arts show will be the Visual Arts Exhibit on Wednesday, April 17, at the high school’s gymnasium and cafeteria. That display will start at 6 p.m.
And if you can not attend the live show then you can enjoy watching the live stream.
The Bridgewater-Raritan High School television station —-BRTV—will for the first time provide a live stream of the performances.
Matt McCarthy, the force behind the Festival of the Arts in his role as the school district’s Supervisor of Arts Education, also spearheaded the convenience for the community to watch through a live stream production.
"I am very excited to kick off our Spring Concert season with the Festival of the Arts,’’ Mr. McCarthy said. “ I am so proud that we will be able to livestream these events. Now even more of our community members will be able to witness the hard work and talent of our student musicians in real time. "
