Together with winter sports, the national honor society induction, honor roll mentions and recipients, 2023 ends with a joyful close, and many unforgettable memories. This amazing musical put together by directors Adam Jarvela, Samantha Mulligan, and Mike Doheny, taking place on Tuesday, December 19th @ 6:00 p.m. in the Sarah Gordy Auditorium. The sheer size of each individual showing displays the potential the spring concert will deliver, and the future of Winslow’s band, choir, and orchestra. 2024 is just around the corner, as students enter their winter break and a relief from the overwhelmingly close to the year, remember to stay warm, comfortable, and to enjoy the 10 days to the fullest. Until next time!
