Faculty Show and One Busy Week!

This past weekend was our annual faculty show and the theme was 60's and 70's. I apologize about not promoting it sooner so that some of my loyal readers could have attended. It was a great show, however, and we had a great turn out! Even a few of the guys from the DC Area Alumni Association for Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia came out to sing and we had a grand time!

This upcoming week is a busy one for me and for my 5th and 6th grade select chorus. Wednesday we will be performing for a reception at the Hart Senate Office Building. Then, on Friday we will be performing at a DC Charter School Best Practices Conference.

Amidst all of this we are hard at work pulling together our production of "Aladdin, Jr." which is going to open in just under three weeks. Talk about booked!

Virginia Tech

My thoughts and prayers are extended out to all of those affected by the shootings at Virginia Tech today.

The Process of Coordinating Summer School

It's a challenging one.
I finally got my flyer and enrollment package completed and those should be going out tomorrow.

Now it's a matter of acquiring facilities. Then I have to see what the actual count will be for summer school as far as students and then link staff, facilities, and students.

It's all very mathematical when one gets down to it. Hopefully my mathematical/musical mind will aid me in this process.

It's been almost two years...

In about a week it will have been two years since I came to the DC Area and made the decision to move here.

How it all happened is truly something out of a movie. My wife and I came down here on vacation to visit a friend and just to spend some time in our nation's capitol.

We instantly fell in love with the place. On a whim, my wife interviewed for a job and she got the job.

A couple of months later we packed up our bags, loaded up a Budget Truck and moved here.

It's as if we went on vacation and never returned!

And, so far, it's been one of the best decisions I've made in my life...
