And, as far as our KoSA Festival is concerned, from the opening performances on Monday evening, through Tuesday's powerhouse, Wednesday's AfroCuban/Latin theme, Thursday's astounding performance, the always surprising and wonderful Participants Concert on Friday, and the diverse and electrifying Grand Finale Concert, the week was a complete high for all involved - including the over 2000 members of the surrounding communities.
