Irvine City Council Meeting starts with Music by... →
Suzuki violin Children from both TEC and SASS/OCCTAC played for Mayor Kang and the City Council on Tuesday at 5pm.
I don’t remember the piano accompaniment ever being that loud. We couldn’t hear it the first time we started playing. I’m glad we restarted. It was a good thing that we played America the Beautiful first. The children did a great job.
