We listened to the artistry of two MBMS musicians (flute and violin) and two Mira Costa musicians (violin and cello) perform extraordinary (and extraordinarily difficult) solo pieces for our large assemblage, bolstered by a room full of proud parents. Our performers were the first place winners of our club-sponsored music competition, representing four categories: MBMS Band, MBMS Strings, Mira Costa Grades 9- 10, and Mira Costa Grades 11-12. Also present were more awardees: the second and third place finishers in each category.
