Thank you to all of our participants in the 2023 Spring Recital! We had 52 brave students showcase their progress across 3 recital sessions. We witnessed some incredible performances on the piano, guitar, drums, violin, and voice, making for an engaging and entertaining mix!
We also want to extend our gratitude to the families and supporters who attended to celebrate their student’s accomplishments. Each session boasted a full audience and we appreciate all the kind words and encouragement you provided to not just your student, but all of the performers.
Thank you to everyone for “Shining Bright” in all you do. Recitals are truly a collaborative effort and each individual plays a critical role in their success.
