The First Notes program has been getting a lot of show time this year around the holiday season, and we're excited to share some of those experiences with you!
Last week, First Notes performed with The Dallas Brass, who later played at the Vilar Performing Arts Center (VPAC) on Tuesday, December 15. Kim Hannold, who helps coordinate events at the VPAC, wrote this below:
Good morning, I just wanted to share with you all what a great day for arts education we had yesterday at the Vilar. The First Notes brass musicians had some one-on-one with the Dallas Brass yesterday afternoon which the director, Michael Levine, said was his favorite part of the day! Later in the afternoon we had Eagle Valley High School and Battle Mountain High School musicians participate in a clinic, followed by a rehearsal with Dallas Brass. In the evening, the First Notes musicians performed in the lobby before the show, then Eagle Valley High School joined them on stage for one number. Michael announced First Notes to the audience, saying it’s amazing that there were 3rd and 4th graders playing in the lobby! Thank you Lindsey and Jean for your help in making it happen for First Notes. As Lindsey put it, opportunities like this will have a long-term impact on their lives.
