Through the Grapevine
Musicians at the Bash
By Vicki L. George
The Back to School Bash, held at the Lakehills Civic Center on Aug. 4, was hugely successful. Cars filled the grounds, two adjoining fields and lined PR 37 on both sides.
The space inside the grounds was packed with kiddos, parents, grandparents and, I am sure, aunts and uncles.
I was most amazed that the powers that be provided musical entertainment for the hoards of people attending. The two young musicians were quite gifted and I learned they were Noah Nilsson and Amber Bormann, both of Geneva School of Boerne. They were performing pro bono and when asked for a comment, Noah said, “I love music!”
Nilsson is a senior at Geneva School. Bormann graduated this year and said she is headed to Southern Methodist University this fall.
Their music was so good I overheard several people expressing a desire to dance.
