• The Hilley Family - For picking up our lunches each day, making feeding everyone a breeze.
• Makayla Osborne - For being on hand as a Mira Mesa High School graduate-volunteer all week. Makayla helped coordinate lunches/snacks, took photos of all of our sessions, and even made time to create a slideshow for our musicians and their families.
• Tristan McCoy - For attending as a graduate-volunteer, performing in the group and leading our younger musicians.
• Our Local Restaurants - Chipotle Mexican Grill, Chick-fil-A, and Jersey Mike's, for their work in helping feed our musicians each day.
