The Cast, Crew & Pit Orchestra
“Thank you all so much for helping to make The Music Man one of the premiere productions Masquers has presented in the past few decades. Our attendance was the best in over ten years, and donations were equally impressive. I think you will agree, however, that the most impres-sive work was done by our students on stage, backstage, and in the pit. Thank you for your support, for attending the show, and your willingness to be Bulldogs. It has been a real pleasure working with our performing arts students over the years, especially this year.” – John Mercer, director

Instrumental Lessons Private lessons will be offered this year on flute, clarinet, saxophone, cornet, trumpet, trombone, baritone, tuba, percus-sion, voice, and maybe, depending on the amount of interest, French horn, oboe and bassoon. (Availability of lessons will depend on the number of responses for each instrument.) This is an excellent opportunity to help your child enjoy band and choir more by being able to participate at a higher level than before. All students can greatly benefit from lessons. The ad-vanced player will gain a greater depth of understanding and solo performance while the less experienced player will get a
chance to practice the fundamentals they need. Fee is $14.00 for each once a week private lesson. Contact Mr. Feller at 440.427.6333 or [email protected] for more information or to setup lessons for your child.
Private Lessons are a great way to fast forward your child's progress. Lessons are taught one to one, dealing with just your child's skills. Here are some excellent area teachers:
