Circle Rockets Featured in Chicago Tribune!

The Ravinia sponsored Circle Rockets were featured in an article in the Chicago Tribune for their efforts in assisting the launch of Sistema Ravinia sites in Lake County! The full article, which can be accessed through the linked photo below, read in part “The Circle Rockets came from Chicago to perform for Lake County students and their parents at Ravinia. They also assisted the students in playing their first song.” Great work Circle Rockets!
