Glee Club
Moderator: Joseph Napoli
Business Manager: Lorraine Palmieri
Open to all who demonstrate some talent for singing and an appreciation for music, these choral groups provide musical performances to multiple audiences throughout the school year. In return for their dedication and commitment, members are able to strengthen their talent both as individuals and as a group while they learn musical pieces and arrangements.
The Glee Club has won first and second place trophies at national competitions over the past several years and the Dominoes have taken classes at the Juilliard School and have sung at both Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall.
Student Publications
The Trumpet is the official school newspaper of Saint Dominic Academy. We report on various events during the school year, including sporting events, club activities and student/teacher profiles and accomplishments.
We meet two or three times a month (no more than 20 minutes each meeting) in order to assign articles and check on progress. If you are interested in writing an article, you might only spend ten total minutes a month in a meeting. Most of the work is done on your own time outside of school (as long as you meet your deadlines).
In order to be a member of The Trumpet, a student must be hardworking, organized and able to meet deadlines. The editor and moderator will be more than happy to assist your writing in any way.
We are currently in the process of providing The Trumpet online as well as in print form. If you are more interested in the technology aspect, we can certainly find a place for you. Also, if writing or technology is not your forte, but you would still like to participate, we can always use a good photographer or two. Moderator- Mr. Seborowski
Elan is published annually, This literary magazine carries the writing, art, and photography of students representing all grade levels.
