[brettrussell561]

His name is Quitman McBride III, from Cape Girardeau, MO. He's spectacular; I had the pleasure of having a solo on the same song as him at district level. An ice storm kept me from going to state :'(

[TTom99]

Does anybody else feel like the cymbal ruined the moment at 3:28 ? It was the best chord of the song/the whole concert, and he didnt know what was going down... GAaaaarrrr

[musicyaay]

ummm yea

[whitneyandkendall]

Just beautiful. Such a phenomenal experience with fabulous musicians. Thank you to Dr. Fenton and everyone who was involved!

-Soprano 1 from the Northwest District!

[ged424]

[imabigbrat15]
