Douglas County Commissioners Chris Boice, Tim Freeman and Tom Kress hosted their 3rd annual Music at the Courthouse concert series on Wednesday.

The event featured ten local music programs in celebration of National Music in our Schools Month. A copy of the proclamation was presented to each of the attending schools and programs prior to each performance.

A County release said the proclamation and concert recognize the tremendous impact that music education has on youth, how it enriches their minds, allows for deeper engagement in all aspects of their learning and creates a positive outlet that enhances their future success. A copy of the proclamation as well as live performances of all the music groups can be found on the Douglas County Government Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/DouglasCountyeGovernment
