Exciting Fine Arts News!
April 14, 2010
Two day-long bus trips and two whirlwind days in Atlanta, Georgia provided the Seton Music Program with bragging rights and a lot of trophies. Seven Seton ensembles competed against groups from nine other schools in the Atlanta Heritage Festival, and were named the top school at the festival for a combined score of points awarded to choral and instrumental groups. First-place awards in various categories went to Seton Chorale, Symphonic Band, and Chorus. Concert Choir, with Seton's highest individual score, won an Adjudicator's Award and an invitation to compete in an elite Heritage Festival in 2011. Out of all performers at the event (twenty-four ensembles from nine schools), the festival's only two outstanding individual performance awards were given to Cara Hamel '10 as the pianist for Seton choirs, and Gabriela Sotomayor '10 as a vocal soloist!
Congratulations to all of our girls as well as Instrumental Music Director Debora Hood and Vocal Music Director Dr. Kathleen Vadala for this truly amazing accomplishment!

"So what's this music trip all about, anyway"

In fact, Seton Music Boosters provides a 50% reimbursement program for students to take private lessons.
