Embers’ Music Man Marvels!
The stage came alive last Friday during Embers Fire Choir’s production of the Music Man Kids. The young cast brought energy, heart, and an impressive talent to the production which delighted students and parents alike.
The production was a true team effort, showcasing not only the performers’ hard work, but the support of dedicated staff, parents, and volunteers. A special thank you to the creative team who made this show a success: Rob Sadlowski, Meredith Carpenter, Alli Smith, Brenda Fernandez, Gwen Carter, and Shannon Walaskinski.
The full album of Music Man photos can be found HERE.
