While Noa typically eschews summer music programs, they were surprisingly amenable to performing with DCYOP for the Smithsonian Folk Life Festival and even willingly went to hours long practices (some of which ran even longer) in the middle of the day at a random middle school. The day of the actual performance they were less excited, which may have been due to the heat, or the thunderstorms, or the delayed sound check that the crowd thought was the actual performance with a fastidious conductor that kept cutting off the orchestra mid-piece.
Nevertheless, Noa persisted and made it through the entire performance of Dvorak's Legend, Nabor's Distant Worlds, and Vaughn William's English Folk Song, before the heavens opened up and we all rushed home.
