Press Release
Fairhaven middle-school and high-school music students set new department records at the Junior and Senior Southeastern Massachusetts Bandmasters Association (SEMSBA) this past weekend.
Of the 34 total students sent, Fairhaven Music had 21 students accepted into either the Senior or Junior SEMSBA Festivals – a new district record for the music department.
From the Fairhaven High, 16 total students were accepted to the Festival – including a record-breaking 12 students from the choral program. This marks the third consecutive year that the FHS Choral Program has broken its own record for acceptance into the Festival.
In addition to the program’s success over the weekend, two Fairhaven High Music students were also honored last month for their accomplishments in music.
Bethany Tetreault was accepted into the MMEA All-State Chorus, an honor that has not been achieved by a Fairhaven High School music student in more than seven years. This is the highest accomplishment that a choral student can achieve and gives Tetreault an opportunity to rehearse and perform with the top choral musicians in the state of Massachusetts.
