Student Performances Kick into High Gear<\/h3>\n

Students and Staff put on a great show for our 3rd Annual Concert in the Park!<\/strong><\/span>
\nStudents of all ages and levels showed they were ready to rock to an audience of more than 300 on April 18th at Kingswood Parke in Surprise. Students comprised the majority of the bands by playing drums, keyboard, bass, guitar and also performed most the vocals.
\nAmazingly, most groups only rehearsed together once or twice and still gave amazing performances of all kinds of music including
\nBilly Joel, ACDC, Rage Against the Machine, and more. The staff even did a few numbers including the anthem of the event, Saturday in the Park by Chicago, complete with horn section.<\/p>\n

Students enjoyed a variety of activities during the concert including playing on the playground, Kats Facepainting, and Kona Ice.<\/p>\n

Formal Recital gives students a chance to shine on stage!<\/strong><\/span>
\nOn May 16th, more than 150 students performed on stage at the Peoria Performing Arts Center. The beautiful venue was no match for the lovely music performed by students of every level or the variety of instruments heard including piano, voice, classical guitar, violin, viola, trumpet, sax and flute. During the 8 recitals, audience members heard everything from Ravel, Vivaldi, Beethoven, and Mozart, as well as contemporary composers too.<\/p>\n
