🏆More results are in! Congratulations to Aaron on making to the Senior District Festival, also with Fantasie by Faure! 

Very high score! And a perfect score on scales! So happy and proud of him! 🏆🏅🎉

Too bad and stressful that his new Powell flute got broken AGAIN 2 days before the audition. It just came back from another Powell repair about 3 weeks ago... the flute is only 6 months old.
