Yesterday, two special guests came to my school to get the students excited about raising money in the Fun Run for the Music Program. The parent association is in huge support of what I'm doing. They were able to get a group called Street Beat AND one of the stars from "High School Musical" to come.
Corbin Bleu, the new celebrity, was SO nice to everyone. He talked with the kids about music in his life, made jokes, let them ask him questions, and was really sincere.
ABC 7 News and the Orange County Register came to cover the event. They interviewed me with cameras and reporters. I had about 10 seconds of glory on TV that showed me, Corbin and the Street Beat guys laughing together and getting our pictures taken. The above video is from the OC Register.

The whole event was a fantastic experience for the kids and great publicity for the school and our music program. A special thanks to everyone that made it possible. Hopefully we will make enough money from the fundraiser to get everything that our school needs to really rev up the music program!!I will be running in the Fun Run, too, and will accept donations and pledges from anyone, especially from parents and grandparents!
