Notes: UCF singers to perform with Rolling Stones

UCF singers to perform with Rolling Stones

It’s only rock ‘n’ roll (but they like it), so the University of Central Florida Chamber Singers will spend the night together with the Rolling Stones next month – well, for one song, anyway. The group of 22 select university voice majors has been rehearsing to perform with the Stones when the band rolls into Orlando on June 12 as part of its Zip Code tour. David L. Brunner, a UCF music professor and director of choral activities, said he recently received a call from a tour organizer in London inquiring about teaming up with band that has been performing together since 1962.

SCPS says goodbye to graduating students

Seminole County Public Schools (SCPS) just said goodbye to another amazing senior class, and although it’s sad to see them go, the Class of 2015 didn’t disappoint at making all of SCPS proud. This year, the talented 4,786 graduating seniors made their mark in a big way. The SCPS Class of 2015 earned an estimated $68.8 million in scholarships and boasted 693 Florida Academic Scholars, 451 Florida Medallion Scholars, and 328 Gold Seal Scholars. By excelling in academics, as well as athletics, they validated the reputation SCPS has for producing high-achieving and well-rounded students prepared for the 21st century.
