Young voices strike high note

Thu., Dec. 23, 2010

The Singing Nuns Christmas program at the Bing Crosby Theater this week was special this year. They had as special guests the East Valley High School Strolling Strings. This a group of 36 high school students that practice at 6:45 a.m. and have exceptional talent.

The media are filled with stories of our young people taking drugs and engaged in various criminal acts. It is refreshing to see these fine young men and women using their talents in such a rewarding way. America, our youth is our future and there is still hope.
