Yesterday was the Grand Finale Concert for MUSIC! Not Mischief Year 2.  All of the players were absolutely amazing and as such we were VERY glad to be the house band and not the judges.  Congrats to all who participated (Carren, Mohan, Andrew, Thomas, Dylan, Sergio, Austin) and especially to Sergio whose blazing version of Paranoid won him the title.  As per usual our guitar sponsor and good friend Mike Carparelli proved what an absolute class act he is and awarded each of the finalists a brand new guitar.  Rob Tajti, Brian and Clint you guys did an incredible job putting the production together and cheers to ALL the teachers, police officers, school boards, principals, students and media outlets who helped promote and support the program throughout the year.  Special thanks to all who assisted in the technical side of things on both the rehearsal and concert days.  Videos of each of the participants can be found and viewed on-line at  www.musicnotmischief.com.  We continue to be inspired, humbled, proud and honoured to be a part of this program and we look forward to watching it grow next year.  Sincerely, TRACENINE.
