🇺🇸 Honored to share that OCSA was invited to perform at Representative Paula Stark’s Memorial Day Ceremony at the 65th Infantry Park in Kissimmee. This meaningful event gave our talented OCSA vocal students the opportunity to pay tribute to those who have served and sacrificed for our country through music.

Our students delivered beautiful performances of the National Anthem, a moving military medley, and “God Bless America,” helping make the ceremony both memorable and impactful for everyone in attendance. We are so proud of the professionalism, heart, and artistry our students displayed during this special community event. ❤️🤍💙

Thank you to Representative Paula Stark and all organizers for allowing our students to be part of such an important ceremony honoring our nation’s heroes.

Dr. D'Ambrosi and Dr. Shanoff getting the day started at the symposium! How can we better integrate the arts in a meaningful way to support the individuality of each student? Making schools a place where students feel connected and where "history is taught with the arts in mind". If the arts teachers can commit to working alongside core teachers, we can help accelerate students in exploring their own creativity.
