SSO 2011 Music Memory Competition winners

In a previous blog a few days ago, I outlined the SSO MM competition for those of you who may be unfamiliar with its history. Last night after playing the concert I took some photos of the school winners which I posted this afternoon on Robert Trudeau's blog. www.shreveport.blogspot.com/

 My chair? Yes! - No not a trick question - I just can't make my back conform to one of those little plastic jobs

Congratulations to all the participants and see you next year for Music Memory 2012.
