Princeton music is a family, both during your school years and as alumni. You are always welcome back, and we hope you will visit, come back for performances, and ultimately share your love of music with others. Please keep in touch! Thank you for all of the memories you have created for your teachers and peers! We will miss you! Kristen Brown Music 6-12 Subject Leader Princeton Music Dear Princeton Music Seniors, Congratulations on your upcoming graduation from Princeton High School. Like you, I have the distinction of being a Princeton Viking Alumnus. It’s an elite and finite group of people throughout this incredible country that share the special bond of being a Princeton Viking Alumni. However, unlike you I was never involved in music during my years at Princeton. So, you also share another bond with those in this book that I never will - and that’s Princeton Music Alumni. This bond was forged by the combined efforts of your parents, your family, Princeton’s amazing music directors, the support of the Princeton Music Boosters and of course your hard work. Princeton has done its part in preparing you for your next venture, whether it is college, the military or entering the workforce. We all know that whatever you do, you will accomplish it with the same traditions and passion of a true Viking. Few can rightfully call themselves Princeton Vikings, but many will wish they could. Go VIKES! Tom D. Benjamin, President Princeton Music Boosters PHS Class of ’90
