Thanks to Matt T for organizing the Professional Marimba concert on Tuesday night. This also opened up an opportunity for these professional musicians to work with some of our band students throughout the day. Matt also did a great job taking one of our students to the ILMEA music contest last weekend. Your time and effort outside the school day is appreciated.
