Welcome to the home of TigerPride music parents!
 
The South Hadley Music Parents Association is a 501c3 nonprofit that supports all musical endeavors within South Hadley High School.  It is a rich legacy and tradition at SHHS that parents, grandparents, relatives and friends work together to help fund and support the music teachers, support staff and their programs, as well as help ensure that our children have opportunities to showcase their impressive musical talents.

Upcoming:

Change in two summer band rehearsals:  Rehearsal on Thursday, July 10 will run from 4 - 6 p.m., and there will be a rehearsal on Wednesday, July 16 (not the 17th), which will run from 4 - 6 p.m.  Both rehearsals have been changed because of the Grease production.  Thanks for your patience, flexibility and understanding.

A production of Grease will be held on July 17, 18, and 19, featuring recent South Hadley High School graduates Billy Ray Poli, Iris Heady, Meg Fleming, Adam Zukowski, Maggie Sorbi, CJ Messier and many more.  It is directed by our choral director Beth Ayn Curtis and promises to be a fun and exciting show.  If you go to the show, you get to see our director of bands, Jeremy Wardwell, lowered from the ceiling for a song!  For ticket info, contact Darrell Troie at highwireacts@gmail.com. Hope to see you all at the show!

A tentative 2008 marching band schedule is posted on the music department upcoming events page.  Just click on the page! On the "Forms" page, find a hand-out that Mr. Wardwell gave each student for the summer and fall season schedule.

A HUGE thank you to the Chestek/Sorbi family for issuing the $1004 challenge.  $625 was raised to meet the challenge, and even though we didn't reach the $1004, the organization has $1,629 to keep our shows on the road.  Thank you, everyone, who made a contribution, but especially to Pam Chestek and Rich Sorbi for honoring their children and the music programs with their thoughtful gift.
