LEAF NIGHT OF THE STARS
LEAF Night of the Stars happened this past weekend on Friday and Saturday nights at the Tech High School Auditorium; an absolutely beautiful auditorium for two nights filled with talented children in our area, performing vocal and instrumental solos, broadway music performances, dance, and more. Pictured above are some of the behind-the-scenes crew bringing it all together.
GARY ZWACK IS BACK AS THE HOST OF THE EVENING
Gary Zwack, Tech High School Band Director Emeritus, was back complete with a night's worth of chicken jokes and providing introductions to all the wonderful performers.
There were over 25 acts performed for the evening.
The kids perform not only for the experience of being on stage, many of them for the first time, but because it will help future generations be able to pursue their dreams in whatever they are interested. The funds raised help support so many programs.
