On Saturday, March 11, thirteen 6th Grade Gorham Middle School students participated in the 2023 District 1 Maine Music Educators Association Middle School 6th Grade Honors Chorus and Band Festival. Students from Bonny Eagle, Cape Elizabeth, South Portland, Gorham, and Westbrook were nominated to participate in this special event. Students that were accepted into the festival spent the day working with guest conductors. The 6th Grade Honors Band was directed by Erin York from Freeport Middle School and the 6th Grade Honors Chorus was directed by Nate Menifield from Freeport Middle and High Schools. Students worked incredibly hard on challenging music and put on a concert right here at Gorham High School’s McCormack Performing Arts Center for family and friends.
