Share the Music Gala 2008 
An Evening of  Music, Fine Food, and Fun

THANK YOU!!

This year's Share the Music Gala was a great success! 230 people were enthralled by the smooth sounds of our NH Youth Jazz Ensemble, heard the premiere of the signature song “Ode to the Manchester Community Music School” prepared and performed by faculty members Jill and Joe Deleault, and danced to the music of Brian O’Neal and his band for the “Hot Southern Blues” concert.
 
 
All proceeds from the event benefit the Financial Aid Fund – bringing the joy and benefits of music into children’s lives!
