Congratulations to Mrs. Boddy being named the March PTSA Tireless Teacher!

Student/Parent Submission:
Mrs. Boddy has been a constant source of support and inspiration for my son throughout high school. He almost walked away from music Freshman year, but the moment he stepped into Varsity Singers sophomore year, he was encouraged and challenged to do his very best. He not only stayed in music, but he is also now pursuing a Music degree in college. Mrs. Boddy has high expectations of her students and spends hours preparing lessons and materials to make sure they excel as musicians. More importantly, she wants them to excel as humans. If any teacher lived the Metea L.I.F.E. principles, it's Mrs. Boddy. She will leave a lasting impact on all of us long after we leave Metea.

Congrats again Mrs. Boddy! Have a great weekend everyone!

October and November

Congratulations to our students on Metea’s first live concert in 18 months! We are already looking forward to many more together!

District-Provided Singing Masks
Each student this year has received a district-provided singing mask. District 204 is requiring all students to wear these masks during daily rehearsals and for all performances. Students wearing the singing mask for all singing activities, as opposed to their “everyday” variety, allows District 204 to remain compliant with the state-mandated mask requirements for music participation in schools.

Throughout the night, the middle school students will rehearse with Metea students (listed above), watch some of our co-curricular groups perform, and all tenors, and basses will participate in our annual Guys Sing Night for a portion of the schedule. Additionally, all tenors and basses will remain until 9:00 pm for a quick combined rehearsal of their Collage song.
