The Chesterton Middle School Music Department will present a Music Festival on Tuesday, March 10 from 5:30-9:00 p.m. at the CMS Auditorium, Cafeteria and East Gym. Pictured with donated baskets are CMS music students, left to right, Madelyn Matthys, Zachary Bryant, Emily Wegner and Ben Stahlhut. The festival will serve as a fundraiser to benefit the CMS Toys for Teens and the Westchester Neighbors Food Pantry.
A $1 donation per person and non-perishable food item may be given at the door. All proceeds will go to charity. The festival will feature fine performances from the bands, bell choirs, choirs and orchestras. In addition, a silent auction will be incorporated featuring many gift baskets and an auction of CMS Band Director Vince Arizzi’s and Orchestra Director Tom Schnabel’s batons will occur at each of their concerts. Between performances, visitors can check out all of the baskets and then bid on them. This evening is a great opportunity for parents and members of the community to hear the middle school performing groups and support this community fundraiser.
