“Based on the popular comic strip and adapted from the Tony Award-winning Best Musical, with a beloved book and score by Tony Award winners, Thomas Meehan, Charles Strouse and Martin Charnin, Annie JR. features everyone’s favorite little redhead in her very first adventure.

With equal measures of pluck and positivity, little orphan Annie charms everyone's hearts despite a next-to-nothing start in 1930s New York City. Annie is determined to find the parents who abandoned her years ago on the doorstep of an orphanage run by the cruel Miss Hannigan. Annie eventually foils Miss Hannigan's evil machinations, finding a new home and family in billionaire Oliver Warbucks, his personal secretary, Grace Farrell, and a lovable mutt named Sandy."

Woodbury Middle School 7th & 8th grade band had a wonderful performance this morning at the New Hampshire Music Educators' Association Large Group festival! The group started the day with a sight-reading, where they had to perform a piece they had never seen before with only a few minutes to look at it beforehand. Then they performed their prepared pieces for adjudicated feedback and scoring, and finished the day with a clinic with one of the judges, Arthur Tomasian.

Congratulations to all the students involved. Thank you to band director, Mr. Benson, for providing this opportunity. And thank you to Mr. Fountain and all the parents who helped with the trip.
