Congratulations to all of our student musicians who participated in the Indiana State School Music Association Solo & Ensemble Music Contest for Strings, Winds, and Percussion on January 27. They represented Park Tudor with excellence.

Many thanks to the private teachers and to Ms. Jennifer Hufford and Mr. Nathan Perry, our PT piano accompanists, for their support with soloists. Additional thanks to our dedicated music coaches, Mr. Don Fisher, Dr. Lori Honer, Mrs. Kathy Schilling, and Mr. Mark Schuster for their time and expertise helping to prepare our ensembles. Our students are successful because of our entire team.
