Wonderful Job!
Congratulations to everyone for such a successful performance! All the groups sounded fantastic, and I am proud of all of you. Pink Panther with one rehearsal came together beautifully – what a wonderful experience, to conduct a piece with so many students under the baton, having the sound resonate as it did Thursday. 
Thank you to Ms. Kowalchuk for organizing the reception and all the parents who helped – it really made the evening seem special to me and to all the students. I hope to make that event a tradition!
