This weekend, Ms. McManus is attending the annual in-service workshop for the Kansas Music Educators Association in Wichita and had the pleasure of bringing four of her choir students showing interest in a career in music! Here is a picture of them getting ready to hear the Kansas Intercollegiate Orchestra and then they are off to watch the Late Night Jazz concert! They have heard so many great concerts, visited with prospective colleges, and attended workshops about becoming better musicians and leaders!
