For the 12th consecutive year, Chapin School Princeton music ensembles participated in the annual Music in the Parks Festival, held this year in Middletown, N.J. Chapin’s Chamber Choir, Show Choir, Wind Ensemble, and Jazz Band, totaling 83 students, were among the 19 ensembles participating on Friday, May 5. Ensembles performed before a panel of judges who assessed each performance, provided written and verbal feedback, and rated each ensemble based on a set of criteria. Chapin took home several awards, including the Overall Middle/Junior High School Vocalist Award for Gillian Bartels-Quansah. Congratulations to Chapin faculty members Bridget MacDonald, Missy McCormick, and Desi Melegrito who stewarded the choir through hours of rehearsal.
