Welcome to State Fair the 2023 Musical for Boise Music Week.

This is my first year as Production Chairman and it’s a work of love. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

My first music week was in the Boise Elementary Honor Chorus singing “Lucky Little Cricket;” Since then I have been involved in many aspects of Music Week, most recently conducting the orchestra for the musical. My first piano lesson was when I was eight, and then clarinet lessons and percussion lessons. My mom drove me to them all, and my dad made sure her car got me to them all. Music is my passion and my life, and musicals take the forefront of my interests. Please support music and get children involved. Music will develop a young child’s brain and help them with their school work. I don’t know where I would be without it.
Thanks to all my friends and family for being there!
