The Drowsy ChaperoneThe Drowsy Chaperone boldly addresses a great unspoken desire in all of our hearts; to be entertained. If you've ever sat in a dark theatre and thought, "Dear Lord in heaven please let it be good," this is the show for you! It all begins when a die-hard musical-theatre fan plays his favorite cast album on his turntable, and the musical literally bursts to life in his living room, telling the rambunctious tale of the brazen Broadway starlet trying to find, and keep, her true love. Shows Friday, March 21 and Saturday, March 22 at 7:00 pm in the IHS Auditorium. For tickets or more information please call Mrs. Schatt at 216-642-5860 Ext. 1222. The Band of Ten Eleven Twelve
Pledges to date are in excess of $515,000 "In addition to high quality instruction, our students deserve practice and performance facilities that allow them to achieve their potential at all times of the year and in all weather conditions, which is why I support the Independence Stadium Foundation's turf field initiative." - Matt Schatt, Independence High Band Director Photos from the Christmas Concert
Enrichment is part of the Music Booster's MissionThe ongoing mission of the music boosters is to foster and encourage student development in the musical arts. Throughout the year the music boosters raise money to provide funds used to purchase instruments, equipment and uniforms. Booster volunteers provide hospitality for both the IHS and visiting bands at football halftime, and also assist with set design/construction and costume design/creation for the madrigal and drama productions. The Music Boosters also offer a musical enrichment grant for eligible students. To get more information about the enrichment grant and other great things the boosters offer, see the boosters website at www.ihsboosters.com.
