Last Friday over 60 Ivymount student's from our MAP, MLN and Autism programs attended the U.S. Army Band's American Holiday Festival dress rehearsal concert at DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, DC.

The annual holiday concert featured many familiar holiday tunes, both instrumental and vocal. This was the fourth year for our students to be invited and is a wonderful way to expose them to concert hall music in a welcoming, student-friendly environment.
