Snow Pond Symphony 2016 Season

Performance Opportunities
All students benefit from performance opportunities to share their musical accomplishments. Performing is a vital
learning experience for each student and an opportunity to showcase Snow Pond’s programs. SPCMS students
frequently perform at schools, hospitals, retirement communities and community events.
Pineland Suzuki School students performed during the
intermission for the Al Corey Big Band at Granite Hill
Estates’ Big Band Bash last summer.
SPCMS hosted a “Cookies and Cocoa with Santa” event in
December that featured several student performers, raised
money for our school and gathered toys for the children living
at the Mid-Maine Homeless Shelter.
Pineland Suzuki School held their annual benefit concert in March, featuring every student in the program, as well as several local
orchestra musicians. The theme was “Celebrating Orchestras in Maine!”
Outreach Programs
Snow Pond’s Outreach Programs make music more
accessible to young people in the community.
Additionally, these programs raise awareness of the value
of music education. All outreach programs are offered
tuition-free to ensure every child is given the opportunity
to participate. Partner programs this year included: the
Alfond Youth Center in Waterville, the AYC’s RSU 18
After School Program in Oakland, the City of Augusta’s
After-School Program at their four elementary schools.
Students in the Percussion Club at the City of Augusta School
Age Childcare Program learned about the basic elements of
rhythm while learning to play Djembes.
