I just wanted to give thanks to all those that had a part in putting together last nights concert. It was fabulous. My kids loved dressing up and they really enjoyed the music, today they have listened to a Draco & the Malfoys CD at least five times. I also was really pleased to see so many teens enjoying themselves. I know its hard to find good stuff for teens to do and last night was a really great step in the right direction. Thanks again.

That was a blast! The guys from the bands had a ton of fun as well.. they've never seen something like that.


anyway, there's a gallery up from the show so check it out!
