Chamber Choir Annual Fundraiser
The Groton-Dunstable High School Chamber Choir will hold its biggest fundraiser of the year on March 30, 6-10 p.m. at Devens Common Center, 31 Andrews Parkway, Devens, MA. It’s a fun night with music and dancing to two local bands (that have connections to the music program), performances by the Chamber Choir and GD Jazz Band, complimentary appetizers, a menu to order from and cash bar, as well as a great silent auction with some amazing items (like a weeklong stay at a resort in Snowmass/Aspen, Colorado). The event is appropriate for the whole family, and proceeds will help Chamber students travel to Europe next year for a singing tour of Spain.
Tickets are available from any Chamber student, or by calling (978) 905-1201, or online through our website: www.gdchamberchorus.org

GD Open Mic a Huge Success Again,
by Taryn Emerle...
Last Friday, GDMHS hosted its third Open Mic Night of the school year, featuring almost 20 diverse acts. It brought out one of the largest crowds we’ve seen this year, which was great fundraising for our upcoming Disney trip. The creativity and talent displayed throughout the show made it unmissable, and we’d like to say a big thank you to all those who attended.
As junior Josh Booth said of Open Mic Night, “It’s a great place to try your hand at new songs and styles, because it’s such a positive environment.” Since the audience at Open Mic is notoriously very supportive and encouraging, it’s the perfect place to show your creativity. GD’s music program is kicking it into full gear fundraising for the Disney Trip in May and the Spain Trip in 2020, with the recent Open Mic and chamber’s Funraiser on March 30th. This event will feature performances from GD’s own Jazz Band, and a silent auction. Tickets are available at http://www.gdchamberchorus.org/ , so please come out and support our music program!
