 CHAMBERSBURG. The
non-profit Cumberland Valley School of Music will be holding Performathon 2006
on Saturday, March 18. The Performathon is a marathon recital, featuring eight
hours of continuous musical performances by hundreds of CVSM students of all
ages and ability levels. Each student has received monetary pledges of support
from the community. Many area businesses have contributed prizes for the
students who obtain the most pledges for the school, and this year prizes range
from an X-Box 360; an i-Pod;
a Karaoke CD Party
Machine; tickets to Hershey Park, Totem Pole Playhouse, and
Maryland Symphony; gift certificates to Wal Mart and area restaurants; and much
more. The Performathon is made possible with generous support from State Farm
Insurance.
This year, the
event will be held at two locations on the campus of Wilson College,
Chambersburg, PA – Thomson Chapel and Allen Auditorium in Warfield Hall.
Starting at 9:00 AM students will begin to perform and will continue until the
last one has played at around 4:00 PM. Admission to the Performathon is free,
and people can arrive at any time and stay as long as they like.
Students will
either sing or perform on a wide variety of instruments, including piano,
guitar, brass instruments, woodwinds, and string instruments. In addition, the
styles of music performed will cover the gamut from classical to musical theatre
to rock to jazz, and skill levels will range from beginner to advanced. In
addition, the Performathon will feature several groups, ranging from classical
duets to the Cumberbunds youth chorus to rock and roll groups.
“The
Performathon is a day to celebrate music and the arts through participation and
education,” says CVSM executive director Andrew Sussman. “Watching students of
all ages and abilities perform is an inspiring sight. It reminds us of the joy
of making music, and reinforces the positive effect that music can have on the
lives children and adults alike.
