Abbe Clubhouse held its annual music recital. Kicking off with the Star-Spangled Banner by member Kai G, the grand concert got off to a wonderful start. Kai was followed by the Abbe Clubhouse Ensemble, who performed Cissy Strut by The Meters.  These performances paved the way for impressive subsequent performances by the woodwind’s ensemble and drum, violin, and piano solos. The grand concert concluded with a drum finale, Uptown Funk, by members Aiden L. on the drums, Austin L.S. on the synthesizer, and Samir D.G. on the guitar.
