  • Members of the Magnet Music Program at South Miami Senior High School have been invited to perform at Carnegie Hall on Monday, April 21st, 2008. We are currently taking sponsorship donations through Cobra Parents' Inc. to fund extra outings as this costs a lot of extra money. Anyone interested in donating should contact Jennifer Jimenez, or the booster president, Angie Fernandez. Students will be performing all Latin works with a world premier of a piece "Gloria". The entire concert will be presented in Spanish and Portugese. We are taking 17 students and 5 adults. Tickets are available through the Carnegie Hall Box Office.
