Thank you String Cheese! We had a great time!

Last Saturday, about 40 of our students from all grade levels in our orchestra learned fiddle tunes, arranged a tune, learned to improvise, and got to hear great music on amazing instruments played by the craziest-out-of-control-positive-and-inspirational string band STRING CHEESE!  If you missed it, you won't ever want to miss it again!  These videos are from our "informance"  and just give you a taste of what we did.  If you want to hear what String Cheese is all about, check them out on www.stringcheesemusic.com.
