Fine Arts

The arts are a proud tradition at W.C. Friday Middle School, where students in band, chorus and the visual arts consistently earn top ratings and recognition for their talent and hard work.

Each December, the band takes part in the annual McAdenville tree lighting ceremony. Band director Cindy Owens was honored for 10 years of providing holiday music for the event with her students. She was recognized by Pharr McAdenville Corporation with flowers and a special introduction, and the band program received a $200 donation in her honor.

Students also enjoyed a great night celebrating students from Belmont Middle School and York Chester Middle School during the Middle School Jazz Night program. Hosted by JazzArts Charlotte, the after-school workshop featured performances, demonstrations, and a jam session, giving students a chance to explore jazz music.
