In the program, Kristen's teacher wrote: "Music is selected, studied, and performed for the purpose of helping students and the public become aware, understand, and appreciate human culture, history, and diversity. As such, it is clearly education in nature." I guess that covers all of the not-so-wonderful and unfamiliar songs these students are made to sing for each concert. I wish the teacher would recognize that students would enjoy singing familiar songs more...the audience too.
Kristen is in the back row, right above the piano and behind the girl in the white shirt. Kristen's hair pretty much blends in with the black curtain.
