“We are so excited to hear our Band Students perform live because this event is all about them! Seventeen current and alumni band members will play familiar favorites, and some will even debut their own songs at the event. Band is all about collaborating, making the best of friends, learning to play new instruments, and finding the confidence to perform for audiences. Youth Arts students often continue playing and writing music into college. They form bands of their own, record their own music, inspire others and find a lifetime love for music and the arts. If you have been to a Youth Arts performance, you know our students never disappoint. Many are also dancers, artists, and actors, and they are all dedicated to their craft. We hope you will join us to support them!” said Emily Jagger, Development Director/Interim Executive Director.
Band students will be led by Band Instructor, Kunchang Lee and Performing Arts Director Claire Fundaro will emcee. Thank you to all event sponsors, including presenting sponsors: Pear Valley Vineyards, Paso Robles Rotary Club, Town ‘N Country Realty and Meditation Supply Store.
