MPS earns grant for Vocal Arts Day
September 15, 2016

The Vocal Music Department of Monroe Public Schools has received a $1,600 grant from the Michigan Council for Fine Arts to support the district’s popular Vocal Arts Day, which will be held on Thursday, April 6, 2017.

     The popular a capella group, Three Men and a Tenor, returns to Monroe to be an integral part of the day-long celebration of vocal music in Monroe Public Schools.  The group will present a short concert for all third and fourth graders in Monroe Public Schools, do clinics with the 5th through 12th grade choir students and host and perform at the All-City Vocal Concert that night.

     At the last All-City Vocal Concert which featured professional entertainers, the attendance was so large that the MHS Auditorium was full and the concert was shown via closed circuit TV to a three-quarters full MHS Commons. 

     “This should be an amazing day for our students and our program,” said MHS Choral Director Cate Windelborn, who worked over the summer with other choir directors Elise Dinwoody (Monroe Middle School), Staci Dreger (Waterloo), Mary Vincent (Raisinville) and Franny Valdez (Custer,) to prepare and submit the grant request to the Michigan Council for Fine Arts.
