Friends,
We hope that this note finds you well. On behalf of the Friends of Naval Academy Music Board of Directors, our amazing community of alumni, and the midshipmen who benefit directly from our contributions - THANK YOU for your generous support to Friends of Naval Academy Music.
Last school year, with support like yours, the music department was able to realize some remarkable achievements. Among them were:
The Glee Clubs’ Spring Tour to Japan
Benjamin Britten's War Requiem, the 60thAnnual Spring Oratorio, at Strathmore Concert Hall
4 new trumpets and 6 new mellophones for the Drum & Bugle Corps
The Gospel Choir’s team offsite and performance in Richmond, VA
A team bonding trip for the Chapel Choirs to Hershey Park
The Gospel Choir’s Black History Month Concert with host Songwriter and Recording Artist, Jonathan Nelson
The Pipes and Drums' trip to the Royal Military College of Canada for Combined Rehearsals and Performances
Members of Trident Brass attended the Jazz Education Network Conference in New Orleans, LA
Already in 2024, FONAM has stepped in to secure 150 digital music screens for the Drum & Bugle Corps, replacing the old music lyres that hold paper music on instruments. A crucial equipment update to D&B’s operations that wouldn’t have been possible without your support.
If you are not already a donor, we would ask you to show your support for the future of Naval Academy Music!
Sincerely,
Friends of Naval Academy Music
