“Music educators will participate in interactive activities and presentations from our members. They will also be given resources to help build on their own music programs within the schools.”

The week will come to a close with a mini-concert on Friday, July 8, 2011 at 7:00pm at Mary Miller Hall where the public are invited to view a showcase of what the students have accomplished during the week.
