Congratulations to all participating students who shared their music with us, and a big thank-you to all the teachers, families and friends who came to support these young performers at the 2024 Popular Music Festival, which was held at the beautiful Cuyamaca College Theatre on Saturday, December 14.
Judges Yuko Maruyama and Taylor Smith wrote comments and suggestions which will be sent by email to the students’ teachers. The students were rewarded with individual certificates and a medal at the end of each recital.
Event co-chairs Chutaphin Yeager and Miriam Cole would like to extend their gratitude to the volunteers who helped out: Irina Bessonova, Kate Iwanami, Valeria Kravchenko, Lea Schmidt-Rogers and Naomi Teran. Your help was very valuable.

We hope to see you again next year!
