The Walton CSD music department recently took the high school ensembles to Broadway. While there, they saw the Rockefeller Center tree, had lunch, and saw the musical Gutenberg at the James Earl Jones Theatre.
After the show, the group had the chance to meet and ask questions of Russell Daniels, who is Josh Gad's understudy. The meeting was set up by Middle School Principal Adam Hoover, who is friends with Daniels.
