Framework Sings in Seattle!
This last weekend Framework performed at the DeMiero Jazz Festival in Seattle! Dr. Brown indicated that this was one of the best performances by the group that he has ever heard!
Special solo awards were given to Ryan Tadlock and Natalie North for their performances in “Feelin’ Good”.
Framework was joined on the trip by our friends in Southernaires and their director, Will McLean from South Salem High School.
