N4N Murphy Summer Music Fest The N4N Murphy Summer Music Fest showcased some of the hardest-working young singers and performers, ages 6–13, with a full festival experience featuring DJ Cannon, a stage manager, backstage crew, host, audio engineer, and DJ/MC sets. Participants auditioned, took vocal and performance classes, and competed within their groups to earn a spot on stage. The experience also helped the Notes for Notes Program Manager identify each singer’s strengths, talent level, and areas where they need more development.
