Debussy/Prokofiev
Scotts Ridge Middle School
Scotts Ridge Middle School
After two snow days, the concerts at Scotts Ridge finally took place! The audience was wonderful, and the voting totally skewed in one direction. Still, the results were not as extreme as at East Ridge Middle School.
The second round in particular was relatively close - 56% to 44%. Regardless of the final vote, I was so glad to see and hear such an attentive and enthusiastic audience. Thank you to Scotts Ridge students, and thank you to SRMS teachers and staff for the preparation. And for making the concert happen!
