Last night at the White Eagle was a blast, and it was uplifting to see so many of our faithful Deep Roots supporters turn out for the event. If you weren't able to be there, the place was packed with Deep Roots friends and family from beginning to end. 

Thanks to the generosity of our friends at McMenamins and all of you, The Deep Roots Music Project raised $1,500 on the evening.

A big high-five to Madgesdiq, Ezra Holbrook, Breanna Paletta, Todd Bayles, Zeke Goodrick and The Kinder Scale for their outstanding performances.

Thanks also to Sara Mayhew for her fine work on the event posters and table tents. And to Racheal Kasprzak for showing up early to help set up, and for helping to oversee the information table.

Besides Zeke (DR 1), Breanna (DR 4), Sara (DR 4), and Racheal (DR 4), quite a few former Reynolds student-particpants made it out for the show. Among the familiar faces were Raishawn Kairuz (DR 4), Stephanie Williams (DR 4), Maria Dumitrescu (DR 4), Shannon Lemly (DR 1), Aaron MCCoy (DR5), Jessie Hix (DR 6), Adam Felkins (DR 4), Myka Brown (DR 5), Nagisa Day (DR 9), and Stephanie Anderson (DR 9). Did I miss someone?

The good people at McMenamins seem equally pleased with the way the evening unfolded. They've even thrown out the idea of making "Deep Roots Friends and Family Night" an annual event. I'd go for that.
