MAKING PROGRESS TOGETHER

THANKS TO ALL PARENTS AND STUDENTS

for your feedback on the ROSE CONCERT

Here are a few of your comments:

 

Favorite ROSE ORCH. Piece: FROZEN! (no surprise!)

Favorite ROSEBUD piece: Beethoven 5th

A few nice comments:

"This concert was very enjoyable-most pieces were upbeat and recognizable"

"Loved the show, especially the Frozen piece- perhaps hold the concert a bit earlier when young people play"

"My family enjoyed the whole experience of the Orchestra"

"We had  great time- even my husband enjoyed it!" ahem!

"Good experience- need to do more often"

Thank you for taking the time to tell us your opinion. These will be passed on to the Rose Board-they love to get feed-back!

Better late than never: I found some photos from
