The first of these fundraisers was "The Best Night Ever," a casual showcase of the Select Singers in solo and ensemble pieces. The students ran the show including the selections, the rehearsing, the hosting, you name it. Thanks to the lens of Shirley Fong, here are a few photos that will give you an idea of how wonderful the evening was.
The second of the three fundraisers was Youth Movie Night, held on Saturday between 6 and 9 pm. Parents of Burlington children from ages 5-13 were given an opportunity to drop their kids off for a babysitting night while they had time to themselves...held just before Valentines Day for that special night out! The kids played games, won prizes, and watched Disney's "Toy Story 3."
Finally, the third fundraiser was sponsored by Mike Fay and the New England Tenors during their dinner show at Ashworth by the Sea at Hampton Beach, New Hampshire. A special friend and supporter of Burlington music, Fay provided another fundraising opportunity by appealing to their packed audience on Sunday evening to make a donation to the Select Singers. This unexpected and generous opportunity has boosted our fundraising endeavors tremendously.
That's it for now. Stay tuned...next fundraiser will be the Calendar Raffle featuring Lia Sophia jewelry and a month's worth of great chances for $10.
