Senior Pieces


Our oldest, J (18) will conduct his senior piece tonight at the school's last orchestra performance of the year. He chose a work in which the conductor controls the tempo throughout as opposed to simply keeping time and cuing sections. It can be a wild ride for the instrumentalist who has to watch both the conductor and the music very, very carefully. It's a difficult song.

Mr. WestBerryWorkingDad and I are hanging on during this "wild" graduation season. There's Baccaloreate (spelling),Class Night, various award events, and final performances. Meanwhile, we are trying to ready the house and food for the graduation party happening at the end of June.

If life is like a concerto, this might be the part where the tempo is frantic.
