As we conclude another radiant summer, it’s time to look back at the spectacular Summer Music Recital – “That’s A Wrap!”. Our talented students have truly outshone themselves, displaying an impressive array of skills, ranging from the mastery of instruments like guitar, violin, piano, and drums, to the uplifting performances from our summer rock band.
Our Summer camp sessions put together some new and exciting materials in a short amount of time that highlight the passion and power of music and movement. Our students were immersed in a range of engaging activities designed to nurture their love for music and performance. These included theatre camp, bucket drumming, and rock band, all of which fostered an environment of camaraderie, collaboration, and creativity.
In essence, “That’s A Wrap!” was a celebration of the hard work, dedication, and resilience our students showed throughout the summer. The growth they’ve exhibited, both as musicians and individuals, has been immense. Each student left an indelible mark, not just on the stage, but also on our hearts.
Thank you to all the students, teachers, parents, and staff members who contributed to making this event a resounding success. Thank you also to our generous sponsors – Party Llama Party Decor for providing beautiful balloon decor to help create a fun and engaging display, and Chick-Fil-A Thorncreek (120th & Washington) for gifting our performers and staff coupon cards for free food in celebration of music education. We look forward to more music, learning, and growing together in the seasons to come.
Here’s to the melodies of the past and the harmonies of the future!
