End of the Year Recitals Go Well

Congrats to Jessica Chapman, Sidni Blalock and Gordon and Brett Bell on their first recitals.

Fri. May 22 in Velma I had 7 students play. We rocked! I had more guitar than piano and more boys than girls. Congrats to Zach Davis and Colten Williams on their first recitals. Also to Tanner Southerland and Nena Bloodworth on their 3rd trophies, Doug Finley on getting the 4th year trophy and Sidney Lewis on acheiving the 5th year trophy. (If she takes next year I will have had her longer than any other student! and what a wonderful girl to work with all those years)
