Maryland teens: Good luck this weekend!

Friday, May 2nd, 2008

This weekend, Ocean City is hosting a Festival of Music at the Roland E. Powell Convention Center. The festival is a big-deal regional competition for high school music groups, including choruses, bands, chamber groups, and orchestras. The young musicians competing in this event will receive coaching from pros, and have the opportunity to perform in a parade along the boardwalk. In addition, winning groups get to perform in tomorrow night’s awards ceremony. The schedule of events is listed on the Festivals of Music official website, here.

I just wanted to take a moment to wish the best of luck to the kids taking part in the Festival. It sounds like a great opportunity to grow as a musician, and I hope that one day lots of you will be pro musicians being spotlighted in this very blog. :)
