An intermission quiz, titled “What’s that Sound,” asked students to identify a wide range of instruments, and correct answers were rewarded with small prizes. In addition, Kelsey Ridenour won a Music Arts sheet music bag, and Alex Sample won a flying disk.

Hosts for the reception following the well-attended performance were Karen Earle and Kris Sammons.
