This fall, CenterStage Band and Show Choir will be\u00a0celebrating\u00a0its 10th <\/strong>anniversary,\u00a0<\/b>and the choir is already in full swing, preparing to make this show an unforgettable milestone.<\/p>\n

While looking back at the last 9 successful and memorable shows, it is just as important to remember 9 years of giving more than just music to our community.<\/p>\n

I believe in order for an organization to be successful for as long as CenterStage has, it needs to be built on a strong foundation. It needs to give its members a central focus that the whole group can believe in. Our mission statement does exactly that:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cWe believe that fostering a band and show choir dedicated to well-performed entertainment enhances the quality of life for the entire community \u2014 before the stage, CenterStage, backstage, at any stage of life.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While we may be known for our \u201cwell-performed entertainment\u201d once a year, I think it is our yearlong involvement in the greater Wausau area that truly shows our dedication to enhancing and serving our community.<\/p>\n

We love to spread joy through music and have had wonderful opportunities to spread that joy throughout the area in a variety of different volunteer events, sing-outs and performances. In 2015 alone, CenterStage logged 1,185 volunteer hours!<\/strong><\/p>\n
