Special thanks to the parents who made the trip to watch their son/daughter perform. That means a lot to have such great parental support. Playing a solo in front of a judge in a classroom full of HMB kids and kids from other schools can be a nerve-wrecking experience - but it also has many great benefits to the one who made such a great accomplishment.
The 'All-Dayers' stopped to eat at Cracker Barrel on the way home. It was a well deserved treat after a very long day!
