An Exciting Journey for Bridgewater College Music!

🪈🎵🎷🎵🎺🎵🥁

The Bridgewater College Music Department is proud to announce that the Screamin’ Eagles Marching Band and the Bridgewater Chorale and Choir have been invited to Rome, Italy, for extraordinary international performance opportunities.

In December 2026-January 2027, the Screamin’ Eagles Marching Band will represent Bridgewater College in the Rome New Year’s Day Parade, while the Choir and Chorale will perform in two of Rome’s historic basilicas.

This once-in-a-lifetime experience will give our students—and the alumni and supporters traveling with them—a chance to share their music on a global stage. Beyond their performances, participants will engage in a rich educational and cultural program that includes guided tours of Rome’s renowned museums, landmarks, and architectural treasures.

We invite you to join us in supporting this exceptional opportunity for our students to grow as musicians, scholars, and ambassadors of Bridgewater College.

Every gift will be matched dollar for dollar up to $25,000 to help offset the cost of this trip for all students!
