Grauer Visual & Performing Arts Department Presents: High School Music Café Night
From Isaac Langen, Visual & Performing Arts Director:
I would like to share a huge amount of gratitude to the Grauer community for making our Music Café Night such a success last Thursday, November 9. Many thanks to the High School musicians that performed a diverse and eclectic range of songs, curated by the students themselves; to Tom Hopper for his AV technical wizardry for our 29 songs; to the Senior Class, Girl Rising, GSA, Climate Action, Young Leaders in Healthcare, and Autism MX Awareness clubs for providing the refreshments; and to the loving crowd of teachers, family and friends who came out to support our Grauer musicians. Go, Grauer Arts!
