The mood was upbeat when more than 50 people, some with shiny hard hats and golden shovels, gathered on April 19 at the Smith Fields Sports Complex to celebrate the groundbreaking ceremony for the North Valley Music School’s new building.
Under clear spring skies, North Valley Music School’s board chair Christine Rossi and executive director Deidre Corson said a few words to the crowd before turning over the first few clumps of sod.
"We are so excited to see this 17-year dream finally come to fruition,” Corson said. “The project is a result of thoughtful and strategic planning, mindful action and a deep love for music education. It has taken a village, a committed, philanthropic, and passionate community.”
