Hello, M-AD Members!
I hope everyone is enjoying a wonderful summer! I am looking forward to another memorable M-AD Weekend at the Fall District Contest and Convention in September. Not only will we be celebrating our reigning District Quartet Champions First Take, but also recognizing the District’s amazing success at the BHS International Competition this summer, including our new International Champs (and previous M-AD District Champs), Midtown! We plan to feature both quartets throughout the weekend along with our other talented choruses and quartets – more details will be shared once confirmed.
We are also excited to return to the Central York Middle School that hosted us so wonderfully this Spring. This promises to be a well-attended event, so secure your registrations now! Full details on M-AD website at the link below.
