More Value-ADDED
Another great evening. This time we had the Riverside MASTERWORKS Concert which is a combination of the choral groups from all 5 of our comprehensive high schools. Each school (i.e., Arlington, King, North, Poly, and Ramona) began with an individual section which was appreciated by the other schools in the Ramona Auditorium. The evening ended with a combined group of ALL choirs performing Mozart's Coronation Mass. Where else will you find this kind of instruction and cooperation between competitive high schools? Bottomline, a great performance and soothing therapy for a superintendent's soul.

Dr. Mike Miller of the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore just completed a study showing the effects of music on the heart. "Turns out music may be one of the best de-stressors--either by playing or even listening to music," said Miller. Miller measured blood vessel size as people listen to music. "The inner lining of the blood vessel relaxed, opened up and produced chemicals that are protective to the heart," he said. But if you listen to music you don't like the opposite happens. Last night was a wonderful experience and I'm sure everyone left with healthy hearts!
