Rarely do kids get a chance to touch and hold expensive stringed instruments, but that is exactly what they did at the instrument “petting zoo” sponsored by DEF. Fourth and fifth graders got the chance to play a violin, viola and cello with help from orchestra instructor Jessica Messere. Thanks to funds supplied to DEF from the BBQ and Blues Festival and the Decatur Beer Festival, these students will be able to join the orchestra group at F.AVE. That’s music to our ears!
