Transitions

Another year at Sandwich is coming to a close. Finals are being finished and grades posted. Students could be transitioning into band next year for 5th grade, starting their choir career in 6th grade, and auditioning into Chambers or Wind Ensemble in high school. Or perhaps they are taking on new leadership roles or becoming upperclassmen, and some are looking to the future as they graduate from Sandwich High School.

This year we add another transition to those listed above. Ms. Shollenberger is transitioning to a different part of her career and will be leaving Sandwich at the end of this year. She has been a large part of the Sandwich Music Department and has been instrumental in the growth of the vocal program over the past seven years. We wish her the best of luck in the future and thank her for her contributions to the music department!

Next year, our new choir director will be Mrs. Erin Manning. She is coming to us with experience at multiple grade levels and is extremely excited to be a part of the Sandwich Music Department. She has extensive experience in piano, Madrigals, Musical Theater, Middle School and High School choirs and is a graduate from the esteemed North Central College vocal program. We know that all of our students and parents will welcome her as she transitions into a very busy choir director position. We all look forward to her becoming an integral part of the music department!

Thank you for your continued support in music at Sandwich. Have a wonderful summer and we will see you in August as we begin another fantastic and musical year.

Sincerely,

The Sandwich Schools Music Department
