Under Mr. Meredith’s passionate guidance the vocal music program at Midway has flourished. Brad saw the need for musical theater as a necessary component of the music program. Audiences have been delighted by the productions of Wizard of Oz, Alice in Wonderland, Grease, High School Musical and Brigadoon. Christmas and spring concerts have received rave reviews from parents and grandparents, and we’ve all stood spellbound listening to the high school chorus’s a cappella performance of our national anthem at ball games. Our chorus ensembles and soloists have represented Midway High School well at state contests.
