Eleven talented music students from Draper Middle School recently participated in the annual Suburban Council Music Festival. The participating students had to audition back in January for a highly coveted spot in the ensemble, competing against peers from all the suburban schools.

“The students did an amazing job,” Mohonasen Performing Arts Facilitator Kimberly Kondenar commented. “You would have thought it was a performance from high school students — they are amazingly talented kids!”
