I attended an amazing concert recently at Leland & Gray and want to thank Rene Bernard and Jim Pecsok for their hard work in bringing the music program back to life. The students appear to respect these two leaders and put their hearts into their performances.
Kudos to those students who have gone on to participate in the Vermont All State Music Festival and the trip to Six Flags Music Festival, where they brought home four trophies.
I also want to commend Rene for bringing back the marching band. As a mother of two girls who participated in the band several years ago, I can remember how proud I was to see the L&G band coming down the street.
Keep up the good work. The students need this program.
