βThis will be an exciting afternoon of celebration and music-making,β said Dr. Richards. βSeveral community musicians who performed in our inaugural concert in 2015 will be featured on this program. We are especially looking forward to featuring Gwynff Bodtke, SC Music Scholarship musician and engineering major, as flute soloist in the evocative Breeze in the Forest. Gwynff comes from Byron, Wyoming, and brings an impressive record as a former member of the Rocky Mountain High School Band and a 4-year participant in the Wyoming All-State Music ensembles.β
Join Sheridan College Symphony Band and community members for this memorable afternoon honoring a decade of great music.
