“The Albany School Music program has sparked a passion that I plan to pursue in college. Since fourth grade, music has always been the best part of my school day. I still look forward to getting up in the morning and going to school because I know, through all the studying and test taking, there will be time to make music.”
—Albany High School student and trumpet player
