Spring Concert - Joe Neglia Bids Adieu

At The Prep's Spring Concert on May 22, longtime Music Director capped his 43-year career with his final concert, leading the Band in the group's wide-ranging program of pop and classical music. 
The Band kicked off the evening's entertainment with pieces by composers ranging from Thomas Tallis to Queen. The group was followed by The C-Tonians, directed by Theresa Neglia, and then by the Jazz Band, which featured a number of well-received solos offered by senior members of the Band. • Although retiring from the classroom and the podium, Mr. Neglia will continue to direct the Spring Musical. And while his exhuberance and expertise will surely be missed on a daily basis, he is passing his baton to another member of the Neglia family, son Michael, currently Music Director at Aquinas Academy in Livingston, who will bring his own experience acquired at the Mason Gross School of the Arts and the Juilliard School to The Prep beginining in September.
