🎶 Mark your calendars, Pintos! 🎶

Pinto Express and Music Connections will both be featured at our concert this Sunday, October 11, at 4:00 PM in the CPAC!

We’ve got a great lineup planned, including:

🎵 “Your Song” by Elton John
🎵 “I Ain’t Worried” from *Top Gun: Maverick*
🎵 “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” by Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell
…and that’s just the beginning!

We’ll also finish the concert with a rock ’n’ roll finale featuring music from Joan Jett, Bill Haley & Bob Seger!

These singers work hard every day to prepare and share their talents with our community, and we hope you’ll find time in your schedule to come out and show them some Pinto support!

Want an extra-large dose of music on Sunday? Join us at 2:00 PM for the High School Choir Concert, too!

Come support our talented Pinto musicians — we can’t wait to see you there!

It’s a great day to be a Pinto! 🎶
