Students and community members packed the Multipurpose Room Monday night to perform and listen. The evening started with beginning violinists, Cymbre Garringer, Aubrey Polk and Kristen Saling playing Hot Cross Buns. This was followed by a fabulous rendition of London Bridge on Saxophones by Mom and Son duo, Linda and Sam Studtmann. Pianists Ivy Crawford, Ashlyn Garringer and Savannah Mastrude played a lovely tune called the Minature Waltz. Then, Gabriel Kauffman, Ian Swanton and Matthew Wirth regaled the crowd with two tunes, Skip to my Lou and Yankee Doodle. These boys played and looked great! Then the audience got a real treat with an Accordion solo by Leslie Crawford. Way to go Leslie! Community Member Joaquin Neuder joined the advanced guitarists, Lucas Swanton, Christen Garringer and Heidi Heines on stage to play I’m Yours. And, last but not least, we were treated to the lovely voices of Victoria Staats, Kirsten Saling and Delaney Swanton singing Lean on Me. This program would not be possible without the Ethos Music Center, in conjunction with Americorps. Our music facilitators this year, Kristen Emhoff and Jami Moore have really gone out of their way to meet community needs; including teaching adults and leading dance workshops. We love our music teachers and thank them from the bottoms of our hearts for their work!

I’m so happy to hear things went well! Ethos is so pleased to be working with such a talented and musical group of students!
Keep up the great work!
