About 160 parents, grandparents and other relatives and supporters watched the youngsters perform. The Musical Arts Concert, which occurred on the last day of school, is the culmination of weeks of instruction in the After-School Program. It also provides services for students in grades 7 through 12 at Withrow. The nonprofit United Way agency partner, founded in 1875, provides academic support, such as tutoring and homework help, and a range of enrichments including music, arts, technology training, field trips and social-emotional skill development in the After-School Program. The students are part of the Families FORWARD After-School Program at Bond Hill, Carson and Hays-Porter. In addition, some members of the Withrow University High School Withrow Marching Band, under the direction of Michael Wade, performed at the end of the concert. The students-in prekindergarten through sixth grade at Bond Hill Academy of Math and Science Discovery in Bond Hill, Carson School in West Price Hill and Hays-Porter School in West End-played violin, danced and performed Zumba exercise routines May 23, 2019, at the downtown theater.
