All right, let me brag on my kids a bit. They’re involved in quite a few artistic things, but rarely do they get to do productions together. This weekend they are.
Andrea has one of the lead roles in Cooper High School’s production of “How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying.” She’s worked really hard, as has all of the cast, and she’s doing a fantastic job.
When Daniel heard that they were going to use a live pit orchestra, he immediately wanted in. He checked around a bit and discovered that they were indeed using musicians from outside the school system. (since he’s in college now) He volunteered and is one of the two French horn players in the pit.
(Another neat thing… our niece Julia Taylor is also in the orchestra, playing violin)
“But where are the links?” you say. Here you go:
