As we come together to support our young musicians, we kindly ask audience members to stay for the entire performance to ensure every student experiences a supportive audience. We understand that little ones may find it challenging to sit through the full program – if you need to step out early with young children, please feel free to do so quietly. Our community understands and appreciates that families with young children may need this flexibility. Your presence and support mean the world to our performers!
