The INTL community happily came together for an afternoon to share the joy of music.* *INTL students, their families, and teachers danced, sang, and played a wonderful array of instruments and genre. The performers in the event were endearing beyond measure. We enjoyed music from the INTL Choir; a special performance by Genevieve Charlot (mother to INTL's [French immersion](https://www.istp.org/frenchimmersion) music teacher, Jean-Baptiste Charlot); a dance performance by three of our INTL mothers; Roxane and Sophie D. performing a mother-daughter vocal duet, a father-daughter duet w/Chela N. on guitar and her father on recorder; the Verdiell sisters on harp and flute accompanied by their father; the Chou Family Quartet; the Krampe family; the INTL Quartet, and many more! * *We had a record number of registrants for the event and were reminded how talented and inspiring our INTL students are and how gratifying it is to share live music in person. Special thanks to Jean-Baptiste Charlot and INTL [Chinese immersion](https://www.istp.org/chineseimmersion) music teacher, Sue Yang, for volunteering to bring the INTL Choir.
