About
Does the discipline and dedication required to serve in our nation’s armed forces have anything in common with the discipline and dedication required to become a skilled classical musician? All of the kids on today’s show would say, “Yes!” This week, From the Top is in Grapevine, Texas, where we’ll showcase talented young musicians who’ve grown up in America’s proud military families. Taped in collaboration with the Military Child Education Coalition.
