Invitation for
Past Members of RBS RHYTHMICS and RBS SINGERS!
We hope to connect
with former Riddle Brook School chorus members. We have plans to
celebrate 20 years of music-making at RBS during the spring concert, to be
presented in the Bedford High School Theater on Wednesday, May 15, at
6:30 PM.
At this Spring
Concert, we will share a few reunion songs including “We Are The People Of The
Twenty-First Century” (from the first concert, in October, 1999.) Also planned:
“Guacamole” and “Born To Make Music,” which have been sung every year by our
3rd grade chorus, as well as “Fireflies” and “One, From A Chorus Line.” These
last 2 songs have been the final set of Riddle Brook School concerts for the
last 9 years. We look forward to seeing many alumni and we will invite them
to sing along.
The celebration
begins with alumni sign-in starting at 5:45. Past chorus member will receive a
special program booklet, then are invited to attend a reunion gathering in the
music room. The concert begins at 6:30. Please pass this to anyone you know who
is a Riddle Brook School chorus alumnus. Mrs. Munz can be reached at this
email:
Food Drive
RBS is working
with the Bedford Food Pantry to help collect food items that are
most needed by families. Every other month we will be collecting 1 food
item. For the month of May, that item is INDIVIDUAL MAC N CHEESE
CUPS. If you are able, please bring in individual mac n cheese cups

the office hallway outside of the library. Thank you so much for
