SATURDAY:

9 A.M. Opening Ceremonies 
Mason Holly 

Mason Holly is an eighth-grade student at Seven Rivers Christian School. Mason started playing the piano at the age of three. His mother has a friend who was classically trained at the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music, in Warsaw, Poland. Mason saw and heard him playing one day and decided that he wanted to play the piano. Of course, at the age of three, his mother did not take him seriously; but he was relentless. Once a teacher was found, who would work with Mason at the age of three, he started on the piano and continues to train and play to this day. Upon entering middle school, Mason expressed a desire to play the violin. However, violin is not offered in middle school band, so Mason picked up the flute (of which he excels). However, still not satisfied, Mason continued to insist upon playing the violin. Mason (and his sister Teegan) joined the Citrus Youth Educational Symphonic Orchestra in August 2018 and started on the violin. Mason learned quickly and is a member of the CYESO Student Orchestra, while still maintaining private piano and violin lessons, and continues as a flautist at Seven Rivers Christian School.

This sweet and gentle horse loves attention and being part of the show! He has worked mounted security and has been on the dance floor in a few of the venues where the band performed in Michigan. He made his first Florida appearance in Cedar Key and has been the talk of the island ever since!
