Silver Anniversary

On Memorial Day weekend of 2001, more than 100 Music Warehouse alumni participated in the silver anniversary concert at the Indiana University Auditorium. Twenty-five years of performers, stage crew, pit band, families and friends joined in the special celebration.

In addition to performances by the Music Warehouse classes of 2000 and 2001, the Sophisticated Ladies and New Edition also participated in the reunion. There were also multiple alumni performances, as noted below. Videos from the concert may be seen here.
