Supporting the Arts
Choir, Orchestra and Bands perform in the PAC.
SETTING THE STAGE. The seats were almost entirely filled when the concert started, and five groups performed. It took two hours, from 7 PM to 9 PM in the performing arts center. “I’m so happy all of you came tonight,” Director Kevin Egan began. “We love the support and I hope you have a good night.” Photos by Alex Bischel.
