MDI High School Music Department’s 1st Rehearsal-A-Thon [VIDEO]

MDI High School is hosting their 1st Rehearsal-A-Thon beginning this Friday, April 10th at 3 p.m. through Saturday morning, April 11th at 8 a.m.

It's designed for members of the Symphonic Band, Chorus and Orchestra. WDEA's Chris Popper sat down with Matthew Mayo, Bronwyn Kortge and Christien Breau to find out more about what is happening

Check out the video.

As you can see from the itinerary, students from the band, chorus and orchestra will have lots of opportunities to practice and socialize and get to know each other. One of the goals is to have band members know chorus members and orchestra members know band members!

Friends, family and the Island Community can check in as many of the rehearsals will be live-streamed throughout the night. You can watch this on MDI High School Trojan TV
