Justo Lamas Concert 2010
Friday, April 23, 2010
The Justo Lamas 2010 concert was a great success! In addition to Ledyard, students from Stonington and Groton joined us for the show. Highlights of the concert were Cody Doucette's talented version of "Te Toca a Ti" and Nathan Allen's successful tongue-twister "Estoy loco por ti, por ti estoy loco". Both of them won a Justo CD for their efforts. Sra. Anderson's second block Spanish 4 class danced with Justo to "Rķe y Llora" and Koby Nelson and Jessica Meyer performed with Justo to the song "Te necesito". Everyone had a great time! Mark your calendars for Justo's next concert which will be March 21st, 2011!
