TIED to the Arts: Music, Art and Curriculum Showcase Imagine a crowd of 340 gathered in a school cafeteria suited for 250. Combine that with 275 vocalists in black slacks and long-sleeved white shirts. Add risers with 134 chairs and as many performers with musical instruments and what do you get? Just another Tied to the Arts event at Carlynton Junior-Senior High School. Tied to the Arts night showcases the work of students in grades kindergarten to 12 and incorporates the visual arts, vocal and instrumental performances. Since 2007, eight educators from the art and music department have collaborated to demonstrate the value of the arts by providing a visual showcase of student work and to illustrate the benefits “tied” to arts education. 12 724.942.0940 to advertise | Carlynton-Montour
