Grant Wood Griffins recently enjoyed a music lesson and dance party with local jazz band 10th Street Rapids! Made up of Washington High School students who first met at McKinley Middle School, the band performs at local festivals, venues, schools, and other events. They love sharing their passion for music and hope to inspire the next generation of young musicians.
