The audience was awesome and after the seniors received their awards and the last song of the evening was sung, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house by those parents.  The last concert for the 2013 seniors and what an extraordinary event it was. 

Thank you Mrs. Sepulvado for all that you do and for the entertainment you provide the public each and every year.
