This past Wednesday we had the pleasure of welcoming the Robertsdale High School Percussion Ensemble to perform for our studio and have the opportunity to be coached by our professors Dr. Nozny and Mr. Greenwood!

Our studio also had the opportunity to give the students a sneak peek into some of our percussion ensemble work for this semester.

Congratulations to our guest performers, we are very proud of the work that all the students have put in to make some wonderful music!
