This year's Pinellas Guitar Festival will once again include our middle and high school All-County Ensembles and selected feature performers from that group. This event will be held at St. Petersburg College Gibbs Campus (6605 5th Ave N, St. Petersburg) on Saturday, December 9th, so be sure to mark your calendars and pester your directors about signing up throughout the month of September!
We are pleased to announce that the clinician for this year's ensemble will be John Demas, guitar professor at the University of Tampa.
