Meet our New Video Bloggers

This past week, we welcomed seven passionate young musicians as video bloggers for the 2013-2014 year.  They bring their unique musical perspectives and experiences to the vlog, and this year, you’ll be able to follow their stories as they take on new positions, create new projects, oversee concert planning, perform throughout the country, and do the many things that this exciting group plans to do!  We look forward to following their stories this year!  Take a look at each of their first video blogs below, and get to know these new vloggers:
