Our afternoon celebrating "All Things Flute" kicks off with a chance to play alongside current SFS Flute Choir members and local flute luminaries!

2:50-3:25pm - Flute Teacher Sightreading Extravaganza
Our afternoon concludes with a unique experience - watching your flute teachers sightread solos in front of an audience! For once, they're the ones in the hot seat! Teachers (and the pieces they perform) will be chosen at random while students and audience members act as adjudicators, using fun rubrics to "judge" the performances. It's all in good sport to build community, learn to listen critically, and discover new music together.
​
Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind afternoon of music, community, and flute fun!
