Spring Concert - Smash Hit
**^
Pictured are scenes ftom the Spring Concert held May 20th. It was one of the most moving concerts we have ever witnessed. The band and their director, Jeff Redmann, outdid themselves. The guest performances were superb and the entire evening worth every music-filled second. Mr. Redmann should be very proud of, not only his own accomplishments in the music field, but also what he has accomplished with his students. We hope we never lose him.
"Our Own" Choral Director, Ann Tirk, who we are always very happy to call "our own", again did an excellent job with her end of the program.
The "Grand Finale" - The Battle Hymn of the Republic - done by combined bands and choirs left not a dry eye in the place while the largest flag I ever saw was uncovered in the background. If you missed the Spring Concert, you missed a great treat!
