And the Orchestra Played On

It was a strange holiday concert: Allen had to miss it for his last Meeting for Business as Clerk of Friends Meeting of Washington (his three year watch has ended...); Noa's conductor was ill and so another conductor had to sub in; and quite frankly, selections from Carmen seem a far cry from Winter Wonderland. Still, Noa and the rest of DCYOP's Youth Philharmonic did a lovely job playing Wedding Day at Troldhaugen by Edvard Grieg, Crown Imperial by William Walton, and the aforementioned selections from Carmen by Georges Bizet while Mom Mom, Grandpa Don, Megan and myself cheered them on (and got them a boba tea for good measure).
