Music in the Mountains
June 2008
The Falmouth Academy Cool Nights Jazz Band took its annual Music in the Mountains
tour of Northern New England. This year was the fourth consecutive year that
the group has rehearsed, had workshops and classes and performed at such venues
as the Indian Head Resort, Whale Tale Water Park, The Mount Washing ton Hotel
and the Balsam's Resort.
Pictured here is the group under the direction of Hannah Moore and George Scharr
in the Grand Ballroom of the Balsam's Hotel in Dixville Notch, NH. This hotel
from the grand Victorian era is situated on 15,000 acres and is famous for the
country's first election results held in their ballot room. The students received
a standing ovation in the ballroom and a tour of the ballot room, which they
will see again later this year on national TV at election time.
