Music Festival 2011

March 28-31 was our 29th annual Music Festival.

Music Festival program

The Strings performed on Tuesday, the day after I got back from Madrid!  I watched my private lesson students perform solos for 2 judges (Kristi Dahlstrom in the morning and Peggy Stuckey in the afternoon). It was rewarding to see the fruits of the students’ hard work.

Cellist performs "May Time"

A.C. plays "Mi Mancherei" and a "Allegro Spiritoso"

Peggy works with J.K.

Thursday night was the Honors Festival for the outstanding performers the judges from each section chose.
