And the judge's say...

April 11, 2015

Congratulations to all of the participants this Saturday, April 11. We had a really great day of music and competition. We played beautifully at times. We had some nerves, tears, and even laughter. But over-all we represented St. Matthew school in a beautiful fashion. Everyone did a very nice job and worked very hard to get to this day. Congratulations, I'll have medals and ribbons for you all on Monday.

Here's how our school did!
