Tonight, the band performances in the 65th annual Stairway of the Stars show for Malibu/Santa Monica Unified School District were held. Esme was in the middle school band - here she is in line, getting ready to go onstage. The bands were all great - guest conductors, soloists, a beautiful venue. Way to go Esme!!
Ara was in the high school Jazz Band - she had a flute solo for part of one number - and did a great job. All the numbers were well-done - these musicians are so talented and enthusiastic. And the numbers they chose to perform were moving and innovative.
This music program is so impressive! The school district is committed to keeping music - and all its benefits and beauty - part of the educational program.
It's inspiring! So glad we were there!!
