Music Exploration

The 7^th grade concert last night rocked!  Every group sounded fantastic.  The night was especially noteworthy because it was the debut of two new performers to the Mineola stage.  First, last night we introduced a new conductor; Mr. Ratner’s band sounded exceptional and I believe he started a new tradition of audience participation during the Radetzky March.  Second, last night marked the first time a music exploration class performed in a concert.  Their accompaniment of the chorus on Feliz Navidad was a show stopper.  Kudos to
