We are proud to announce the fourth year of the Hurricane Cadets outreach music program for youth participating in elementary, middle school or high school band. Being offered are music lessons which are free to the community youth that are willing to work. The program is under the governance of the Connecticut Hurricanes Board of Directors and its policy's along with a local Advisory Board consisting of Seymour School Band Directors. As of now we are joined by several valley schools as well as the Boys & Girls Club of the Lower Naugatuck Valley and the Valley YMCA.
The program provides musical arts education to all student members through their participation in performance on wind and percussion instruments. The Hurricanes' program places emphasis on a variety of musical styles, which give the students the opportunity to correlate a sense of rhythm with physical coordination. The activity enables the participants to display their learned musical skills in entertainment at concerts and other civic affairs. The disciplines of music are displayed through conduct, teamwork, and self control.
The lessons are geared towards students who want to refine their musical skills after school and through the summer with a program designed in conjunction with the Seymour bands curriculum for the various ages. The lessons will prepare the student for the next level of their school band program.
The Cadets in the past have performed in Memorial Day parades and summer concerts. The program also assesses students at the high school level who are interested in moving to the competitive Connecticut Hurricanes all age Drum and Bugle Corps. To date six Cadets have advanced into the Hurricanes with three of them winning special honors in performance in their first year. One of the graduate members is also performing with the UConn Marching and Concert bands.
