The Coe-Brown Northwood Academy Chorus, under the direction of David Deardorff, participated in the Music in the Parks Festival competition at Six Flags New England on Saturday, May 7, 2011.  It was a fantastic day of music and fun.  The Chorus left school at 5:30 am, and returned at 12:30 am on Sunday morning, tired but happy.  Coe-Brown was entered into four divisions of the festival, two Mixed Choruses (one of which was for the CBNA Select Chorus), Men’s Choir and Show Choir.  The Coe-Brown Chorus made a clean sweep of the competition, placing first in each category and winning the biggest trophy of the day for the “Best Overall High School Choir” of the festival.   Receiving awards for outstanding individual music excellence were Sophie Shiere for “Outstanding Piano Accompanist” and Rayce Calef for “Outstanding Vocalist.”  Congratulations to all of these fine musicians.
