March Updates
Since we all last gathered for our Winter Concerts our Mira Mesa students have remained hard at work -- marching down a thin red line on Colorado Boulevard in the Rose Parade, finishing first semester exams, re-integrating winds and percussion, and starting work on a new set of music, including works by Felix Mendelssohn, Takashi Yoshimatsu, Pyotr Tchaikovsky, Ola Gjielo, Bright Sheng, and Franz Josef Haydn.
Below (in photos and captions) are a few updates from Marauder Way, including a number of dates you may want to save.
