Congratulations to all of the 6th, 7th, and 8th graders who participated in our very own unique solo and ensemble festival! It was great to see these up and coming young musicians perform, many of them for the first time, many of them having learned their instruments at home during the Covid shut down. And several of them having only rehearsed for a handful of days! Kudos to all!
