On the morning of April 8, members of the junior/senior chorus at Dundee Central School, accompanied by DCS teachers Knapp and Knapton and several chaperons, departed for a weekend trip to New York City, where they took in many of Manhattan's famous attractions along with two musical productions.

The April 12, 2006 issue of the Penn Yan Chronicle Express carried this front-page article lauding the further successes of our own Dundee Theaterites:






[04/16/06]

For their 2005 spring production the Dundee Theaterites gave the community another delightful Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, The Pirates of Penzance.  Originally scheduled for March, the production was delayed until the end of April because of renovations to the DCS auditorium just recently completed.  Leading roles in Pirates were handled by Tyler Thomas, Becky Shoemaker, Justin Wilmott, Kelly Shepardson, Arden Van Valkenberg and Chris Capurso.    [05/02/05]
 
 

After their very successful production of Brigadoon last year, this season the Dundee High School Drama Club mounted a production of the classic Gilbert and Sullivan operetta The Mikado, under the direction of John Christensen.  Anyone lucky enough to attend, as did your editor, would have to agree that the ultimate stars of the production were Lew Ann Giles and the costume committee consisting of Ann Shepardson, Cheryl Andrews, Ellen and Michael Chirco, Judy Ebert, Sharon Hunt, Debbie Impy, Fran Lawson, Pam Palmer and Alice Shoemaker.   The costumes were simply magnificent!  [11/24/03]
 
 

Three Little Maids from School Are We!
 

The Venerable DCS Auditorium During Intermission at The Mikado

The evening of September 6, 2002 in Dundee and vicinity was perfectly beautiful.   It was a Friday, the last day of the first week of school at DCS.  Pam Miller, director of the Dundee Area Historical Society,  hosted an open house at the restored Barrington No.4 schoolhouse on the DCS campus.  Your editor, equipped with trusty digital Kodak, endeavored to capture the event for presentation here.
 
The old Barrington No. 4 schoolhouse is situated just north of  the main building on the DCS campus.
This plaque is prominently displayed in the entrance foyer of the schoolhouse.  Clarence Sebring provided the inspiration for and guiding force behind the restoration project.
A series of photographs such as these displayed in the foyer chronicle the progress of the project and opening day dedication ceremonies.

In February 2002, members of the DCS community began their annual Dundee Dollars for Scholars campaign.  The goal of the program is to provide every DCS graduate who is going on to college or university with a $250 scholarship.  Alumni wishing to participate can send their contributions to Dundee Dollars for Scholars, P.O. Box 204, Dundee, NY 14837.


The following story describing the 2001summer trip by DCS Symphonic Steel to the British Isles appeared in the November edition of the Dundee Central School District Newsletter:






[Editor's note:  We believe the word "bank" appearing several times in the text above should read "band".]

The DCS Symphonic Steel band participated in the 15th anniversary celebrations at the Windmill Farm and Craft Market on June 30, 2001, performing for nearly three hours to the delight of their audience.  At the Windmill during the summer tourist season this audience tends to be very diverse.  Your editor heard a number of foreign accents among the crowd, including a couple from the British Isles, which just happens to be where Symphonic Steel performed later in the summer.
 
 








Symphonic Steel's latest recording, Island Melodies from the Finger Lakes, can also be purchased at $12.00 for a CD or $10.00 for a cassette.  (Click here for further information on obtaining this recording.  Your web site editor can help!)
