Sing & Play Festival 2023 Recap

Congratulations to everyone who participated in Sing & Play Festival 2023! Student performers, family and friend supporters, and faculty, staff, and volunteers came together to celebrate music by and for each other in recitals, sing-alongs, jams, and dancing. The weekend was a culmination of a full year of fun and hard work and a celebration of how many people make music throughout our community.

Thank you! to the volunteers who folded programs, set up tents, served popcorn, and cleaned up in the pouring rain so that everyone could enjoy a day of fun activities. Congratulations to performers and the teachers and parents who helped them get ready for their big moment. To everyone who was in audience, whether in person or tuning in online, thank you for your enthusiastic support!
