Bridging the Gap Concert

No one disputes that EskDale has a marvelous music program. In March, people all over the country got to hear the choir during a unique concert that was broadcast over the Internet. You can read more about it on Janille's blog.

The music program also had great success with Solo/Ensemble, with numerous entries making it on to state.

If you want to hear a little music, there will be a recital this Sunday, May 11 at 3 pm (UT).
