School Orchestras
« on: April 11, 2008, 04:08:53 PM »
The Boy has been invited to join as pianist and today was his first rehearsal.

I sneaked in to have a listen.

20 kids on brass. Boy on Piano, various strings and flutes.A drummer. HT on bass guitar. One cello.

Innumerable scraping violins.

And what were they playing?

The Sound of Silence! eeek:

My sympathies.
