Grand Opening
On May 17, 2008 Mozingo Music opened its newest facility called The Stage. Students, parents, family and staff were invited to check out the new stage and enjoy food, drinks and performances by some of Mozingo’s teaching staff. (Click on the image below to start the slideshow).
On June 7 Mozingo Music threw a party in the parking lot having area vendors and businesses participate. JoyFM kicked off the day by having a live remote broadcast in the store and The Smash Band jammed outside on a stage in the parking lot creating a great vibe on a beautiful Saturday. Performances were given by O’Fallon store teachers Brian May, Chris Weiss and Scott Lyle. Wendi Dicken-Bradshaw and family gave a great performance to kick off the performances in The Stage. A great day was had by all.
