Also, a very special thank you needs to be given to Lorell Morrell and Robyn Flynn for doing an amazing job with hosting the directors hospitality room and the judges luncheon. The next time you see them, please thank them and those who came out and helped this weekend. WOW!
I would also like to thank all of the band and orchestra students who volunteered their time to come and help the festival run smoothly. It would not be possible without such great students!
