November was an eventful month! On Saturday, the 7th, CFMTA’s Domonique Launey led members in a timely ZOOM meeting. She shared great insight on the subject: “Preparing and Polishing Pieces for Performance”.
On the 15th, the annual Playathon was held at downtown’s “Artworks” where families could enjoy browsing beautiful exhibits. A total of 73 students performed throughout the day. Because of this, our contribution to Lower Cape Fear Hospice continues to grow each year.
Cheers to all for a wonderful, musical 2026!🎶🎶🎶
