East

As the holiday season progresses, East’s music department has been getting busy preparing for Winterfest XLIX! This year, our iconic winter concert will take place on Wednesday, December 20th, at 7pm, in addition to two assemblies the day prior for Transit Middle at 9:20 and East High at 1:15, during 8th period. Despite the shortened program this year, our ensembles and small groups are all working hard to make this Winterfest the best it can be.

From fundraisers to clubs, there's a lot going on at East as the holiday season starts to roll around! Here's a glance over everything to keep tabs on.

On Friday, November 3rd, the East Side News hosted its very first Coffeehouse of the year--and the first ever without the pit. The night’s theme was Italian Night.

As Thanksgiving break draws closer and closer, the East music department students have another date looming over their heads: November 27th, the day of auditions for Winterfest solos and small groups. As per tradition, it is the Monday we return to school post-break.

It’s that time of year again:  the annual Thanksgiving food drive has started at East, and it will run until November 17. The food drive provides an awesome opportunity to help hundreds of families in Western New York just by donating certain boxed and canned items.
