Join us for a holiday party with Caribbean flair! Enjoy refreshments, games, a craft, and live music from the Summit Academy Akron Secondary High School Steel Drum Army and the Miller South Band.
The Steel Drum Army, directed by Melanie Reymond, will have you clapping and smiling. This ensemble showcases students in grades 9–12 with learning disabilities, autism, and other challenges. Summit Academy provides a supportive environment where students learn and grow through creative expression. Reymond teaches steel drums and multi-percussion as a way for students to channel their emotions through a range of music, from island socas to pop hits.
The Miller South School for the Visual and Performing Arts, an Akron Public School for grades 4–8, offers instruction in instrumental and vocal music, dance, theater, and visual arts. The Concert Band, directed by Marissa Hughes, features students in grades 7–8 performing a mix of winter and holiday favorites.
Students, teachers, and families are excited for Miller South’s future in the Kenmore community.
After the concert, stay on Kenmore Boulevard for the Light the Boulevard celebration!
