Frank J. Carasiti Elementary School 2nd Grade Chorus Performs Annual Winter Concert
December 9, 2025, Rocky Point, NY – On Monday evening, December 8, 2025, the Frank J. Carasiti Elementary School held their annual Winter Concert at the Rocky Point High School auditorium. The FJC 2nd Grade Chorus, under the direction of Miss Anna Macedonio and assisted by Mrs. Megan McGuire, performed, “Season of Bells,” a joyfully, well-prepared and energetic program of holiday and winter themed music. The concert opened with the song, “Season of Bells," a showstopping opener that included student bell ringers. The final selection, “Deck the Halls” was a lovely closer that took the familiar holiday carol and set it to a Celtic accompaniment. The students sang with great excitement and truly helped to usher in the festive season. The students also had the opportunity to perform an in-school concert for the students and staff at FJC earlier in the day.
A congratulatory message from Rocky Point Music Department chairpersons Mr. Craig Knapp and Ms. Amy Schecher read: “The FJC 2nd Grade Chorus performed a really fun concert! Congratulations to Miss Macedonio, Mrs. McGuire and the 2nd Grade Chorus students for helping to launch the holiday season. These youngsters were exceptionally well prepared and the repertoire choices were developmentally appropriate. Working with over 120 students and getting them to memorize all of the words and sing together with melodic and rhythmic accuracy in only nine weeks is very challenging. The children were bursting with enthusiasm before, during and after the performance. We are most appreciative that the Rocky Point School District Administration and Board of Education is supportive of our music department. We are very proud to be one of the only schools in New York State that offers a 2nd Grade Chorus opportunity for the students.”
