Developing Classical Thinkers

Our spring band concerts were cancelled, but we managed to record them and are posting them on the podcast!
Songs from our 6th graders include "Forward March!" "Do-Re-Mi," and "The Tempest," whereas the 8th graders and high school students played "Mars," "Mountain Dance," and "Salvation is Created."
We hope you enjoy today's program!
