Fifth and sixth graders at Hampton Bays Middle School District who are interested in learning to play an instrument had the opportunity to participate in the district’s Summer Instrumental Music Program in July.

The program, available every summer for all beginner band students, is delivered under the direction of Carolanne Mazur, who provides students with music lessons on a variety of instruments to help them prepare for band in September.

During this year’s program, 30 students learned how to set up, make sound and play an instrument of their choosing. Lessons were given in 45-minute increments, three days a week, for flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, French horn, trombone and percussion.

Seven Hampton Bays High School students have been named nominees in the 19th annual Teeny Awards for the part they played in their school’s production of “12 Angry Jurors.” The awards ceremony will be held at the Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center on Sunday, July 11, at 6 p.m. It will also be livestreamed.

The Teeny Awards program recognizes student talent across 18 East End school districts.
