yeah! tax day. (no comment) Last night was amazing. I was privileged to attend the Oshkosh Youth Symphony Orchestra and Philharmonia Spring Concert at the UW-Oshkosh Music Hall. Fantastic! Waltz from the Ballet "Sleeping Beauty", overture to Rienzi, Final, Symphony No. 2 in C, "The Little Russian" and Star Wars were the pieces done by the Philharmonia, the younger group. The Overture to William Tell was incredible. Followed by Introduction to Act 1 of La Traviata, and Toccata & Fugue in D Minor performed by the youth orchestra.
The best part was that I was invited by my friends Ray & Pam and their kids Brooke and Aaron who were performing. Brooke on the violin and Aaron wailing on the cello. I highly recommend attending these events or similar events in your local area. It was a great event.
The photo has nothing to do with the symphony, but I wanted to add a photo of my office. I work. Really. As many of you know, I enjoy roses. Not just giving them. Some may recognize the pic from Ireland as my background. Enjoy. (no comments on the mess on the desk)

San Juan Don Marcus ... I am sure this was a fine event, but at the Center of the U the history of rock and roll and the Charlie Brown Meet's Dancing Bear mandatory parental attendence kind of left mental scars that have yet to heal.
We still get the shakes when we drive past a school but glad it was an enjoyable experience for you.
Most California schools haven't a program of that skill level either but our kids know how to cuss out an adult in 4 languages....sadly, none of the 4 are in english :(
