WEST NEWBURY –Superintendent Justin Bartholomew, Principal Brenda Erhardt and Fine & Performing Arts Department Chair David Schumacher are pleased to share that two Pentucket Regional High School music students were selected for the 2025 Massachusetts Music Educators’ Association (MMEA) Northeastern Senior District Music Festival.
Junior Hailey Bruno and sophomore Ian Parrott competed against students in Grades 10-12 from across the northeast corner of Massachusetts to earn their spots. Both were accepted into the choir.
The pair will perform in the choir in the Senior Festival Concert, which will be held on Saturday, Jan. 11 at noon at Lexington High School, 251 Waltham St.
Bruno’s audition score qualifies her to audition for the All-State choir in January.
“Props to Hailey, Ian, and all our students who auditioned this year for a job well done,” said Schumacher. “This is a great accomplishment, and I cannot wait to celebrate them during the Festival.”
“We are extremely pleased for Hailey and Ian,” said Superintendent Bartholomew. “These students work extremely hard and are more than deserving of this opportunity. We are proud to have them represent our music program.”
The Massachusetts Music Educators’ Association Northeastern District encompasses school districts north and west of Boston, in the Merrimack Valley and on Cape Ann.
