Citywide Elementary Music Festival

Next month, 12 of the 4th and 5th graders will participate in the Citywide Elementary Music Festival. This is an opportunity for older elementary school students to meet and collaborate with other music-loving students from all over Denver. The students who have been selected will sing in the choir and have shown a strong desire to participate in singing. I am looking forward to seeing them take part in this experience!
