MUSIC TOUCHES ME

Joe, my son-in-law made the statement on FB that the weekends seem to be the fastest two days of the entire week. Even though I’m retired and all of my days pass pretty quickly, I’ll have to agree with him; especially this past weekend!

Saturday late afternoon found us south of Greenwood attending the ISSMA Regional competition. We only stayed long enough to watch our 276 member Avon Marching Black and Gold perform but it was a pleasure to my eyes and ears. Those young people of whom my granddaughter is one of the talented flautists, can bring tears to my eyes in a heartbeat. Yes, I’m that proud of them and their talent!

Yesterday evening found us at the Indianapolis Arts Garden to hear the first performance this season of the New World Youth Orchestra of which my grandson is first-chair bassist. Once again, I was moved to tears by the wonderful music and talent of these young people.

Congratulations to AMB&G for advancing to semi-state and to the New World Youth Orchestra. They both gave wonderful performances!

It is such a joy to be entertained in this manner and my weekend, although very short, was well spent with my family listening to the music that I love!
