Save Saturday, April 7, for the All-Class Alumni Music Concert, taking place in the Earl Kelly Performing Arts Center at Ballard High School. The All-Class Alumni Music Concerts are the only chance you have to see and hear current students and alumni making music together. Proceeds from the concert support the music program at Ballard High.
The first three Alumni Music Benefit Concerts, in 2006, 2008, and 2010, raised over $40,000. This year’s concert is seeking donors and sponsors, as well as musicians to participate.
