Friends of Music present Springfest on Sunday, May 20

(May 11, 2012) The Voorheesville Friends of Music announce the return of Springfest, an outdoor music festival to be held at Clayton A. Bouton High School from 2 to 5 p.m. on Sunday, May 20.

Several local bands featuring current Voorheesville students, faculty and alumni will provide live entertainment at Springfest. The bands will share an outdoor stage near the football field with the scenic Helderberg Mountains as a backdrop and music production sponsored by Live Sound Inc. The afternoon will be capped off with a performance by a well-known local musician and fan favorite, singer/songwriter/band director Mr. Brian Kaplan.

The original Springfest, which took place in May 2010, was conceived of and organized by Therese Miranda, past president of the Voorheesville Friends of Music. Therese envisioned a venue where local bands could showcase their talents for the enjoyment of the community. An outpouring of donations from the community in memory of Therese and the generous support of so many others whose lives were touched by her, will fund this event and enable the Friends of Music to offer free admission.

Be sure to mark Springfest on your calendar. Onsite concessions will be available; no outside food or beverages are permitted. We encourage everyone to come out and support our talented young musicians!
