Britney Spears visited John Philip Souza Middle School 142 in the Bronx on Wednesday to present a $10,000 cheque towards the school's year-old music programme. The students were told in advance that they would be playing for a "high-profile" guest, but they did not expect it to be Britney.
Brit was treated to a performance by the Sousatones, the school's eight-piece band, led by director Sal Mazzola. She was also serenaded by a chorus of seven girls. "When you're ready to take us on the road for an opening act, we're ready," Sal told Britney, who replied, "You'll be the first people I'll call."
The donation came from Elizabeth Arden, which is behind Spears's fragrances, Believe, Fantasy and Curious. "I really enjoyed the time I spent at the John Philip Souza Middle School," she said. "I've been working with the people at Elizabeth Arden for the last five years, and I know how passionate everyone is about the school. I loved hearing the school orchestra and the children sang so beautifully. The fact that Elizabeth Arden made such a large donation for the school music studio in my name was so generous."
