HEADLINES: Mt. View Chimettes Have Busy Year The Mountain View Elementary School Chimette Choir had a successful and busy year. The Chimettes started meeting once a week for rehearsals at the end of September and continued through the Christmas season. Chimettes are similar to hand bells. Although they are not as expensive and don’t require as much maintenance, the technique is still similar. Each of the twelve students has two Chimettes which they must ring at the proper time. When all the students ring their parts together, beautiful music is made.
Pictured (l-r) are The Mountain View Chimettes: Suzanne Skurnowicz, Jordan Harvey, Derick Liples, Calla Bufford, Nicholas Hancock, Missy Sohns, John Butler, Lindsey Pratt, Kenny Robbins, Billy Owens, Bryce Edwards, and Sondra Fallon. Not only did the students perform at the Christmas concert at Mountain View Elementary School, but they also performed several other places in our area. In December they performed at Meadow View Senior Living Center in Montrose, Forest City Nursing and personal care centers, NEIU early intervention in New Milford and Barnes Kasson Nursing Facility in Susquehanna. The talented group also did a performance at the Viewmont Mall on a Sunday afternoon for busy Christmas shoppers passing by and performed at the Brooklyn Universalist Church on a Wednesday evening for a Lenten service. During each nursing home visit, the group played their chimette selections and sang Christmas songs. Many of the residents sang along. After their performances the students went out to visit the residents and wish them a Merry Christmas. Not only was this a great chance to perform but it was also a worthwhile experience for the students to interact with senior citizens in our community. The residents also received much joy by listening to and talking to our young people. These students have done outstanding work! It requires intense concentration and regular practice to be successful at Chimettes. Hats off to this fine group of young people! Mt. View Students In Song Fest The tenth annual "Song Fest" was held on Friday, April 4, 2003 at Dunmore High School in Dunmore, PA. This is an event sponsored by the Pennsylvania Music Educator’s Association designed to feature outstanding vocal students in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Conducting for the elementary portion of the concert was Sister Joan McCusker, IHM, Ph.D. She is currently assistant professor of music education at Marywood University. Leslie Mason Moran, choral and band director at Mid Valley Elementary Center, conducted the middle school portion of the concert.
Pictured (l-r) are Mountain View’s Song Fest participants: Erin Harvey, Alena Beeman, Colleen Haley, Maggie Gething, Elaine Mackey, James Compton, and Mrs. Molly Birosak, Director.

After several hours of vigorous rehearsal time, 358 elementary and middle school students from our area performed a concert at 7:00 that evening at Marywood University. This proved to be a tremendous learning experience as well as an opportunity for students to meet other students with similar interests from schools in our area. Congratulations to these talented young people for a job well done!
