    Please plan to stay for 10–15 minutes after the performance to help stack chairs, move stands, and leave the gym clear.
    Your help makes a big difference and keeps our evening efficient and organized.

    Thank you for your continued support of our young musicians! The students have worked hard and are excited to perform together for the first time this year.
    Warm regards,
    Frankie Hidalgo
