March 2011

On the evening of March 31 band, choir, theatre and art students were all involved in the presentation of the Collage Concert. Three art students painted on stage while the band, choir and theatre students performed. These 3 paintings were then auctioned off as a fund raiser for the art department. See the completed paintings below and thanks Kristina Ledezma, Shelby Ratliff and Jenn Coles! March brought a new trimester and new classes.
