Spotlight Your Local Talent

When applicable, one unique feature of Mike’s concerts is he will plan with the presenter about who in their community (student, faculty, school band, or local musician) might like to perform as a guest in the concert. This might be an up and coming young vocalist or instrumentalist from one of the local schools for example. He will contact that student or person ahead of time and plan a musical piece or two to be performed at the concert. Usually they meet at sound check and rehearse for that evening show. This is a BIG HIT with the audience and a valuable mentoring experience for the participant(s).

In the case of a school band, Mike will work with the local school band director in developing a performance involving the students.
