Nicole Minott - Best Lead Actress, Runner Up for her role as Mrs. Lovett


Sydney Scodras - Best Supporting Actress, Runner Up for her role as Joanna


 


Sweeney Todd was a tremendous undertaking for us.  All of our students put their heart and soul into the production, and were rewarded with an experience unlike any other.  As I watched the video vignette last evening, I was reminded of what an incredibly talented and dedicated cast we had.  I am blessed to be able to work with the fine students of Fort Myers High School, and I look forward to many more opportunities to allow them to shine.


Congratulations to the whole cast for their hard work!

Fort Myers High School offers many different types of music classes.  There should be something here for everyone!  You can read more about the choirs on our "About Us" page, and hear clips of them on our "Music" page.


Verdigris


Fermata


Soundwave (ever watch Glee?)


Influx


Guitar


Piano


IB Theatre


We are also discussing the possibility of creating an early music ensemble which would specialize in music from the medieval, renaissance, and baroque musical periods.  This would be a joint project with Mr. Dahlberg and the Instrumental Music Department, and would be a fantastic opportunity to enrich our IB Music program.


What are you waiting for?  Come join the Greenwave Family Music Department!

If you know of one that could be donated, please email Mr. Koller at matthewcko@leeschools.net.
