A note from Mr. Hill to the 8th grade class:

Your middle school experience began in the middle of a pandemic, and yet many of you took a leap of faith and joined our masked production of “Music Man, Jr.” And then last year, you came back (and brought friends) to revisit Agrabah for “Aladdin, Jr” and brought faces back to the stage (and the audience!).  You’ve learned and grown so much over these last three years, both as musicians and as people, and I will forever grateful for the time we’ve worked together. Congratulations to all of you, and I wish you nothing but the best in your future!
