The residents of Hanover celebrated "A Night in New York" for the Hanover Public Schools Music Department on Friday, January 25 at the Cushing Center in Norwell.

Sponsored by the Hanover Parents Music Club, the event raised money for the enrichment of the music programs, grades K-12 in the Hanover Public Schools. This was the fifth year for the fundraiser which has been a wonderful success in providing financial support for Hanover's Music Department.

Performing groups included the HMS Performance Troupe, the 8th Grade Band and Chorus, Scenes from Randumb Axe '08, the HHS Select Vocal Ensemble – VOX, the HHS Men's A Cappella Group – The Corporation, the HHS Jazz Lab and the HHS Jazz Ensemble.
