Great Southern Music Recital a Success

josephtomasso — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 18:55:57 +0000

The Great Southern Musical Block Party Recital on August 1st was a great success! I was so very proud of all of my students who performed duets, solo works, chamber works, and even the jazz quartet was phenomenal! It was REALLY hot outside and very humid and the camera was designed for visual not audio (check back soon to watch!), but it has great energy and i’m very proud of Kristin, my wonderful dentistry major turned flute player!
