Schools struggle to meet demand for summer programs

Schools struggle to meet demand for summer programs

After more than a year of pandemic learning, Minnesota schools are using summer sessions to give students the chance to do the sort of in-person learning some have missed since March 2020. But even with expanded offerings, many summer sessions haven't been able to meet a rise in demand from students and families.

Until then, enjoy these performances from when the corps’ horns visited Minnesota Public Radio in 2019 for a special recording session.
