I've not always been impressed with the music programs offered up at the RP High School, but this particular instance was very good.
It was obvious that these were students who really wanted to be there, making music, and not there because they had to for their class. The talent was strong and the music was good.
In particular, the young woman on drums was quite impressive.
A worthwhile concert that deserved to have a bigger audience.
