BRAVO IB Music 2 Students!


Last night, four of Reagan's finest senior musicians presented a recital of solo music on their instruments.  Recordings of their performances in the recital constitute 25% of their overall IB Higher Level score for college credit.  Over 70 friends, staff, parents and community members came out to support these students in their outstanding musical efforts. Students also wrote detailed program notes describing the musical features and historical context of each piece performed in the recital.   Special thanks to Adam Baus for his outstanding accompaniment skills in the performance!
