Hello WCS Students & Families!

Thank you so, so much to everyone who came out and joined us for our 2021 Halloween Group Performance & Party. Thank you to all the families who helped set up and tear down. Thank you to all the families who brought treats and drinks. Thank you to everyone who has attended group classes throughout the fall semester thus far (don’t forget – there are still more!). And a special thank you to one of our studio families, Ziggy & Darren @luckyfunentertainment for doing all the balloon decorations that made the evening extra fun! Every time we have a studio event like this, Kirby and I are both reminded what a truly, incredibly special community of families we are privileged to have at West County Strings!

These group events are always such a wonderful opportunity to see just how much progress students have made from the start of the school year, but even more than that, how much progress they’ve made from the last time we saw them in their Halloween costumes for our annual Group Performance & Party. Some of the high schoolers in the back row playing Telemann Canonic Sonatas and the Kabelevsky Waltz were once the preschoolers in the front row playing Chicken on a Fencepost Variations and Paw Paw Patch! It’s always so exciting to think back over all of that development.

So, thank you once again for everyone who made this annual studio event possible, and we’ll see you for 2 more group classes this fall, and of course our Fall Solo Recitals coming up on the afternoon of Sunday, November 14!
