Roxbury Track & Field Updates
Roxbury Track & Field Team Needs Help Getting to Carolina Championship
The Roxbury High School track and field team has qualified to compete at the New Balance Championship in North Carolina but the athletes need help getting there.

In a request for donations, girls team captain Karly Forker said the event, in Greensboro, N.C. "is the highest level of competition for high school athletes, making it very difficult to qualify."

Roxbury qualified last year and sent 11 competitors to the meet, Forker said. She noted the highlight of the trip was the girls Sprint Medley Team finishing ninth in the country.

"That opportunity would not have been possible without the help of so many of you," Forker said. "Unfortunately, we need your help! Since schools are not allowed to pay for their athletes to compete in this meet because it is after the state sanctioned season, we need to raise money. Our booster club is able to help a little, however, our booster club is new and can only help so much."

Forker said the team has created a  Go Fund Me Page where contributors can see more information about the team and its accomplishments. 

"This year, we have already qualified for the Girl's Sprint Medley, the Mixed 4x400 Meter Relay and the individual 400 Meter Dash," Forker said. "We are hopeful that we will be qualifying for more events in the next few weeks. We are reaching out to you, and other parts of the Roxbury community, to see if you are able to help. Donations are greatly appreciated and we hope you will consider helping up raise money. However, sharing this with people you know will also go a long way to help us reach our goal."

Joining Forker in the request for help were her teammates Jess Cammarata - Sprint Medley, Mixed 4x400; Bridget Doherty - Sprint Medley; Brandon Longtine - Mixed 4x400; Jordan Morris - Sprint Medley and Kevin Sembrat - Mixed 4x400, 400 Meter Dash.

Roxbury Police to Prom Students: Be Happy, Be Smart

The Roxbury Police Department on April 27th used social media to send a message to Roxbury High School students attending the June 11 senior prom, urging them to "make good decisions."  Using its Facebook page, the department reminded prom-goers that its officers were once in their shoes and know all about the temptation to cut loose, urges that can quickly lead to trouble.

Williams Upbeat About Forming New Roxbury Jazz Ensemble
The Roxbury High School music program nurtures many good players who then have few opportunities to perform locally once they graduate, said local Scout leader Robert Williams.  That's why Williams, a musician who heads the Roxbury Boy Scout Jazz Ensemble, is working to create a Roxbury-based, volunteer jazz group.  An open rehearsal for the proposed ensemble is scheduled for June 3. The rehearsal for the proposed group will take place at Investor's Bank Theater (at Horseshoe Lake in Succasunna). Doors open at 3:30 p.m. and rehearsals begin at 4 p.m. Click here to read more from Tap Into Roxbury.

Roxbury Arts Alliance Hosts Bye Bye Birdie - Now thru May 19th
Hexagon Players continues to delight audiences of all ages this spring with their upcoming musical production of Bye Bye Birdie, their first production in partnership with Roxbury Arts Alliance at Investors Bank Theater at the Horseshoe Lake Complex at 72 Eyland Avenue in Succasunna. Under the direction of Ray Gelpke, the musical direction of Nancy James, and the choreography of Olivia Davis, Bye Bye Birdie promises to be a fun, high energy production for the entire family to enjoy. With colorful costumes, dazzling lighting, and a catchy pop score, this show is sure to be a highlight of the spring season.

Bye Bye Birdie is inspired by the fervor created when Elvis Presley received his draft card in 1957, and follows the story of rock 'n roller Conrad Birdie and his fans, who are devastated when their favorite singer announces that he has been drafted. Before leaving to join the army, Conrad pledges "One Last Kiss" to one deserving fan, Kim MacAfee, a publicity stunt concocted by his managers, Albert Peterson and his longtime girlfriend, Rose Alvarez. The girls of Sweet Apple, Ohio can barely contain their excitement, while the boys are less than thrilled by the iconic rock star's visit. Hilarity, catchy tunes, and fun ensue!

Performances are now thru May 19th. Tickets are  $25 General Admission or  $20 for Students and Senior Citizens. Hexagon Players is a community theater group hosted by the Roxbury Arts Alliance at the Investors Bank Theater at the Horseshoe Lake Complex in Roxbury, NJ. For performance times and/or to order tickets online, please visit www.hexagonplayers.org or call 908-514-8499. Click here to view more information and the program flyer in our Virtual Backpack.
