Musician picks!
Why some our very own think you should see this performance!

Roger Soren - Bassoon
"What an amazing experience it will be! Backing him on video, with his former band mates playing live, it's going to bring back great memories of growing up with his music. We lost him way too young!"

Courtney Hershey-Bress - Principal Harp
"I am very excited about this concert because I grew up listening to John Denver and occasionally seeing a glimpse of him when my family and I would go skiing in Aspen in the winter. Believe it or not I own all of his albums! When I was in high school I attended the Aspen Music Festival and got to see John Denver perform live. I wanted to be up on the stage performing with him. Now I finally get to perform with his memories."

Tristan Rennie - Assistant Principal Bassoon
"John Denver's music strikes chords of nostalgia, genuine, and all-American! I'll have a hard time playing bassoon because I'm tempted to sing along!"
