What a busy time we are in! We are hoping to see you all watch our Festival Concert this Saturday at 7pm. It’s going to be a great celebration of our wonderful students and all the hard work they’ve been doing over this 3rd quarter in distance learning.
We are taking a different approach, for this concert. We would love for you to think of it as a radio concert! We will try to get you put in the mood with some special moments. We hope that you just put it on your favorite sound system and relax and enjoy! Looking forward to seeing you all there!

As we come to the end of the third quarter, and with the reopening of school on the horizon, I can’t say enough how awesome our instrumental music students have been throughout. With the numerous recordings, playing in isolation, and the endless zoom rehearsals, our students have met and exceeded our hopes in this challenging year.
The reopening of school brings new challenges and I know we will again rise to the moment. We don’t have specifics on guidelines, or when we can all play in person together, but be assured as soon as they come out, we are prepared to begin rehearsals and live music in a safe and secure manner. Can’t wait to finally hear the 2020-21 groups play together for the first time!
