Greetings from MadChoir!
On Friday, March 7th all choir groups sang in our State Choral Assessment at Langley HS. All four Madison Choirs received scores of Excellent and Superior on stage and every group received a perfect score in sight reading!
Madison is proud to be a VMEA Blue Ribbon School for Musical Excellence for the past 17 years! This award is presented to schools who receive a Superior Assessment rating for their Band, Choir, and Orchestras that perform the highest difficulty level music. This is a rare achievement in the state, and we are so proud of our Madison musicians.
Also, special congratulations to Advai Govind who was selected for the 2025 All State Choir in Richmond in late April. Bravo Advai!
Thanks to everyone who came of our Dining for Dollars event at Hawk and Griffin earlier this month. H&G shared it was the most successful Dining for Dollars event they have hosted. The MadChoir singers packed the house- the singing and support of the crowd was amazing! We are excited to book another performance date to keep MadChoir music sounding all over Vienna.
Looking ahead, mark your calendars for the end of the year Pops Concert on May 21st in the Madison auditorium. Everyone is welcome to attend! The first set will be at 6:30pm and the second set will start at 7:30pm.
CONGRATULATIONS!
A big congratulations to the Symphonic and Wind Symphony for their amazing performances at Assessments Mar 21-22! For the 11th year in a row, both ensembles were rated superior (on all ratings) – the highest possible score! A special thank you to our chaperones, uniform team, and transportation crew for all your hard work to make the assessment run smoothly for our band program. We truly appreciate it!
A big congratulations to the Winter Guard for their incredible performance of Make Your Way at the AIA Championships at Hampton Coliseum. Having moved up to the more skilled Class 2 this season, our Winter Guard capped things off with a clean performance earning a 2nd place/Silver Medalist finish at the AIA Championships! Thank you to all the parent volunteers who helped with meals, driving, equipment transportation, chaperoning, uniforms, and photography this season. The Winter Guard wouldn’t be as successful without you!
DINING FOR DOLLARS AT BIG GREEK CAFE!
Take the night off and treat yourself to dinner at Oakton’s newest eatery, Big Greek Cafe (2930 Chain Bridge Road). Support all the Madison bands and guard with your take-out or dine-in order on Monday, April 21 between 5-9 pm. No special codes … all customer orders during this time help support the Pride of Vienna. It’s a great opportunity to run into other band/guard families!
All experience levels are welcomed! Equipment is not provided. All campers should have a helmet, shoulder pads, elbow pads, gloves, and stick. The camp will be coached by current Madison coaches and players. If you have any questions, please reach out to Coach Cogan ([email protected]) .
Musical selections, both voice and orchestral, are traditionally part of the Baccalaureate Service, as well as student speakers and faith leaders. It is time of reflection for our seniors and their families on the eve of graduation.
We have chosen the following quote from the 2017 National Youth Poet Laureate, Amanda Gorman, as the theme for this year’s Baccalaureate:
“In this truth, in this faith, we trust. For while we have our eyes on the future, History has its eyes on us.”
Madison HS is hosting our 3rd annual “Feet Meet” for Special Olympics student athletes on Friday, May 2nd and we need volunteers!
Madison is hosting a SPECIAL OLYMPICS FEET MEET for students across FCPS from preschool through high school on Friday, May 2nd from 9:30am-12noon. There will be stations (similar to Field Day) and the following events: 25 M Races and 50 M Races including Wheelchair Races, Softball or Turbo Jab Throw and Standing Long Jump.
We currently expect almost 400 athletes and partners – and will need volunteers to lead the stations and events as well as serve as “ambassadors” for visiting schools and our own team. If you are a student, you will miss class so you need to check with both your teachers and your parents to get their approval.
If you would like to volunteer, please complete the interest form linked here.
Number of volunteers are limited so please complete form to RSVP to be a volunteer for Feet Meet!
The PTSA will award ten (10) JMHS teachers $250 each. Nominations from parents, students, teachers, and administrators are being accepted now through May 5th for this year’s awards. Award recipients will be announced at Convocation and shared in our PTSA communications.
