Governor Chamber Orchestra Brings Down the House at PMEA Conference

It was an honor to introduce our AGC Chamber Orchestra last Thursday at PMEA. They brought down the house! This was my first music conference and it is pretty cool because everyone there is really in to music. Our orchestra was playing in the lower lobby and a mass of people just stopped in their tracks to take in the smooth moves of Mr. Radspinner and sounds of the group. Standing O and an extended applause rang throughout the conference center. It was great to see all of the WASD music teachers there supporting out kids! WASD Music is a machine, get involved!
