Hey Guys,

I just wanted to congratulate everyone on a great trip. I am so proud of your performance….how great was it to hear that applause at the end of Panama? I am also proud of how you carried yourselves throughout the trip. You did a great job of representing the orchestra and our school.

I hope that everyone feels a sense of pride. Really.

My family and I had fun hanging out with all of you. I’ll never forget Summer’s Birthday party at the Pirate house (cheesecake anyone?) Seriously…that dude was the worst pirate ever!

I want to thank the chaperones. Ms. Bryson, Ms. Purtill, Ms. Johnson, Ms. Andrews, Ms. Shell, Ms. Douglas, Ms. Filchock, Ms. Caldwell, Mr. Hearn, Mr. Gray, Mr. Wright, and Mr. Groeneveld. You guys did a great job, and made things easy for the rest of us.

I also want to thank our soloists…Mr. Erwin, Dr. Holbrook, and especially Katie Curran who totally saved the day with the Clarinet Concerto! What great colleagues to have!

It really was a great performance from everyone. Thanks!

Next…NYC!
