<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/21574/20130307/they-apos-ve-got-talent-it-apos-s-spring-musical-season</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Mar 7, 2013) The spring musical season kicks off this weekend at a number of high schools in the North Country.  It&apos;s a busy time back stage and on stage with final rehearsals amid wet paint.In one school district the students are having — literally — a sweet time.  The musical, Willy Wonka, opens Friday night at St. Lawrence Central High School in Brasher Falls.  Special effects include airborne actors and chocolate-scented fog. Even though most schools are struggling with being able to afford extracurricular activities, like music and theater, that hasn&apos;t dampened the enthusiasm among students, staff and parents.  Todd Moe stopped by the final dress rehearsal for Willy Wonka Wednesday afternoon in Brasher Falls and found lots of school spirit.

<description><![CDATA[ (Jun 27, 2012) The Newcomb Central School District in the Adirondacks celebrated a big milestone this week. It boosted its enrollment to 101 students.  That may not seem like a lot, but considering the school had only 55 students five years ago, topping 100 is a big deal. The turnaround began after Superintendent Skip Hults began accepting foreign exchange students.These students get a uniquely Adirondack education, the locals get more diversity and Newcomb Central fills classrooms. The program caught the attention of Congressman Bill Owens, who was the commencement speaker at Newcomb on Saturday, June 23. Andy Flynn has our story.

<description><![CDATA[ (Jun 18, 2002) High school musicians usually get a chance to perform for an audience at school jazz band or orchestra concerts.  But aside from parties and the occasional high school dance, there are few opportunities for young rock musicians to test their licks in public.  For 7 years now, the Norwood Village Green concert series has provided an outlet for high school bands to rock out.  David Sommerstein takes us backstage at the High School Rock Band Festival.
