Many thanks to everyone who helped out and came out on November 3 to support the Orcas Middle and High School Music Program!
We had a wonderful evening at the Odd Fellows Hall, with a fun and varied program featuring the Orcas High School jazz ensemble, the 7th grade chorus, Orcas Horns, Martin Lund, Grace McCune, Michael Hurwicz and me.
Special thanks to Marian O’Brien for coordinating the event and to Marian and Keith Whitaker for the scrumptious homemade tarts. Thanks also to Moana Kutsche. And special thanks to Lin McNulty of Primordial Media, LLC for the beautiful fliers, and to Lizz Hanks for all her help with the musical preparation and coordination.
This was a real community effort, with students participating in the concert and parents helping out. We can be proud of our teachers, parents, and administrators for their support of music in our schools and community. It means they support our children to be well-rounded, cultured individuals with the opportunity to realize their talents and maximize their enjoyment through the arts.
Many thanks to all the students and community members who participated and to all those who attended. My heart is full.
