Twenty-two of Sachem’s most talented fourth grade musicians shared their creativity at the Suffolk County Music Educators Association’s Parents, Educators and Kids Music Festival at Northport High School on Oct. 26.

 

The PEAK Festival is an opportunity for fourth grade musicians to experience music activities while allowing parents and educators to join them in the fun.  Approximately 215 students from 24 school districts were represented during the PEAK Festival where they participated in several workshops exploring areas such as world drumming, folk dance, music games, body percussion, Spooky Beats, Drumtastic Alive and chorus. The festival culminated with a student performance that showed off their creative input and musical talents.
