Performapalooza
The finale to Practice-a-thon 2020
Friday, November 6, 2020, at 6 p.m.
For the entire month of October, over 100 members of the PCM community – students, faculty, parents, and staff – committed to a schoolwide challenge to practice and raise funds for scholarships. Together, they have practiced more than 100,000 minutes (1,600+ hours!), participated in virtual practice rooms, performed recitals and workshops, and raised more than $10,000.
Many have also submitted recordings, which we are delighted to share with you below in Practice-a-thon’s final event, Performapalooza. We hope you enjoy hearing all the hard work that everyone has put into practicing this month!
