THE ARTS PERHAPS THE HARDEST HIT PROGRAM DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC WAS THE PERFORMING ARTS DEPARTMENT. MR. GUTHRIE AND MS. MAYNARD DID THEIR BEST TO KEEP OUR FOXCROFT ACADEMY MUSICIANS ENGAGED WITH NEW PROGRAMS, SUCH AS THE STEEL DRUMS. In April, the good news was that CDC guidelines allowed for actual singing and playing to return to the classroom, and the music program took full advantage. In fact, we hosted our first outdoor spring concert during graduation week. It was a resounding success, with well over 200 people in attendance and plenty of great performances from the pep band, chorus, strings, select choir, jazz band, and the ever-popular rock bands! It couldn’t have been a better night of music. While some normal has returned to the music department this year, going outside to end the 2020-21 school year was a rocking good time.
