Wow. The 2010 Pops Concert will be memorable for so many reasons, both sad, glad, and scary.
Sad: The need to change the concert to a day when we didn't have school. Mr. Berry's trip to the emergency room. Mr. Berry's absence from the pops concert. Paige and Cassidy's laryngitis.
Glad: No need to postpone concert because of snow! Mr. Berry's good prognosis. His Band members stepping up to make him proud in performing 2 of their planned numbers. Kelsey's beautiful senior solo accompanied by Colton Carr. Miss Rudolph's help to make the concert go on as planned (kind of).
Scary: Makaye's switch to alto the day before the concert. Trying on the New Mixed Ensemble Blue tops 1/2 hour before the concert and finding out they need altering. Me losing my place in the music during the Mixed Ensemble's last number. Me stepping in front of the band to conduct it!
Definitely one we won't forget for a while. Get better soon, Mr. Berry. We need you!
