MusicCounts! announces return of ‘Cantonstock’
By Canton CitizenMusicCounts! and the Canton Performing Arts Department is proud to announce the return of Cantonstock, Canton’s own music festival, on Sunday, October 21, from 12-4 p.m. at Canton High School.
Cantonstock is the major fundraiser for the Performing Arts Department and Canton’s music booster organization MusicCounts! Thanks to the generosity of MusicCounts!, all after-school music programs were fully funded from 2009 through 2012.
This year, the Canton Public Schools will be funding the after-school music programs, allowing MusicCounts! to expand its mission to become a full-spectrum music booster organization, providing funds for festival registrations and transportation; competition participation fees; the purchase and maintenance of school-owned instruments; private lesson scholarships; concert sheet music; and enrichment opportunities for general music classes for all students in the Canton Public Schools
More than just a fundraiser, Cantonstock is a celebration of music in the Canton Public Schools. There will be performances throughout the day in the high school cafeteria featuring student musicians from grades 4-12 and music teachers from all of the schools.
Doors will open at 12 noon, with band performances to follow at 12:30, strings at 1:30, Jazz at 2:25, and chorus at 2:55.
In addition to enjoying the performances, visit the Music Arcade, win a cake at the Cake Walk, and try your hand at Guitar Mini Golf and the Tambourine Toss. Other activities include face painting, cookie decorating, and a silent auction and raffle.
Join us for a wonderful day of music! For more information, go to www.cantonma.org/pages/CantonPublicSchools/Community/MusicCounts.
