Grant Billings with the legendary Wally Boot at the Steinway & Sons factory, June 29, 2010

It was a great honor (and a whole lot of fun) to spend a hot June day at the Steinway & Sons factory in Astoria with the selection committee from Sun Prairie High School and other special guests. The task: find the perfect piano for the new Performing Arts Center.

The Steinway Project, consisting of teachers, parents and other community members, raised the funds needed – in only eight months – to purchase a Steinway & Sons Model ‘D’ concert grand piano and establish a maintenance fund to keep it playing for generations.

Congratulations, everyone, on a job well done!
