I cannot express enough what a wonderful experience Wednesday’s outreach concert in Hopatcong was for both our students and for the community. Students, parents, faculty and administration alike have not stopped raving about the quality and energy of Hanover’s performance. Students at both the high and middle school levels were thrilled at sharing the stage for the combined performances. Students that participated in masterclasses were happy to report that they learned new things, and each clinician was reported as “cool”, “great”, “helpful”, “incredible” and “fun”. We even gained a new member for marching band from the experience! More than one colleague was inspired by the service of the HWS members to the students and felt that this was one of the greatest experiences they have seen in an educational setting.
