It's a bit bizarre when the Music Department puts on a special performance to highlight the particular talents of a few very motivated students. But when you find yourself blessed with students with those kinds of abilities, you have to do something about it. You can't just wait around for the official Fall or Winter or Spring concerts to showcase what you have; you make a special effort to show off.
So tonight we were able to attend a special performance at the school where three very talented students were allowed to strut their stuff: one, a Julliard candidate, played her French horn with the concert band; the second played an amazing saxaphone accompaniment to a wonderful jazz piece; and then Charlie Cooper, whom we've known since he was a pup, got out in front of the band and played a perfect rendition of "Rhapsody in Blue".
James, of course, was accompanying on clarinet.
