North Babylon musicians hit the big screen

The beeping of car horns replaced the sound of applause on two cold nights in December as families of North Babylon High School and Robert Moses Middle School musicians filled the high school’s parking lot.

On Dec. 21 and 22, at 4, 6 and 8 p.m., the North Babylon music department was thrilled to present the district’s first-ever, old fashioned “Holiday Drive In,” starring music students from RMMS and NBHS.  To kick off the night, North Babylon High School senior Kaitlyn Marcis sang the national anthem, followed by Director of Art and Music Kim Lowenborg-Coyne welcoming the community to the event. Band, chorus and orchestra students then took to the screen to perform holiday classics and show scenes, broadcast via FM radio, in celebration of the holidays.

 In an effort to give back to those less fortunate, audience members were also encouraged to donate new winter hats, gloves, socks or unopened snacks to benefit the North Babylon Bulldog Cupboard food pantry.
