Addison Trail hosts assembly to celebrate Music In Our Schools Month

On March 8, Addison Trail hosted an assembly to celebrate Music In Our Schools Month (MIOSM).

According to the National Association for Music Education (NAfME) website (www.nafme.org), “Since 1985, MIOSM has been observed as an annual month-long celebration when schools and communities celebrate music in their local schools and the educators who dedicate themselves to bring music into the lives of students every day.”

This year’s theme is “Music Is All of Us.” For more information, go to https://nafme.org/march-2023-marks-the-38th-music-in-our-schools-month.

During the assembly, Addison Trail students and staff enjoyed performances by the school’s combined orchestras, combined choirs and combined bands, as well as pieces composed by students enrolled in Music Production.
