There are so many people who made the 16th annual All Island Choral Festival last Thursday such a success and such a great experience for the singers in grades 7-12 who participated in the culminating concert. The Island vocal teachers would like to thank the principals and staff of the Island schools, superintendent Matt D’Andrea, assistant superintendent Richard Smith, volunteer parents, Nancy Rogers, Charlie Esposito, Mike Tinus, Vineyard Bottled Water and Rocco’s pizza, all of whom contributed and/or assisted.

This event, which brought the 7th and 8th graders to the high school to meet, rehearse and perform with high school singers could not have taken place without everyone’s cooperation and support.
