This concert was our best Artown event so far! We filled McKinley until there was standing room only. There were approximately 200 people attending, and we were told that for the past 2 years we have attracted more people to McKinley during Artown than any other event.
Our performers included members of RUG, our ukulele strum circle; members of both Beginning and Intermediate Ukulele classes; Ukulear Fusion, our Ukulele quartet; and Aria 51, our guitar/cello/ukulele trio. Our performers had a great time, and our audience was wonderful. We even received a standing ovation!
Thank you, everyone who performed and everyone who attended!
