Seaford Middle School Celebrates 60th Anniversary With Concert

SEAFORD, NY — It was a musical night for Seaford Middle School's 60th anniversary.

The bleachers were filled to capacity as students, parents, staff, community members and alumni listened to the instrumental and vocal stylings from more than 350 young musicians.

The June 2 concert opened with two songs by the Woodwind Ensemble, under the direction of Barbara Sherwin, followed by a trio of songs from the sixth grade chorus, led by Amanda Ferguson.

Band teacher Nicholas Coacci conducted the Jazz Band for three songs before the seventh and eighth grade chorus performed.

“There was a lot of Seaford pride among the students and among the audience,” Patrick Kennedy, director of fine and applied arts. “It was a great evening and a lot of people helped out to make this happen.”

The evening concluded with a dual performance of the school's band and chorus.

“In 1965, Seaford Middle School opened its doors, becoming a cornerstone of
education for generation of young learners dedicated to not only academics but creativity, growth and community spirit, Superintendent Dr. Adele Pecora said.
