Finals are fast approaching!

Or so I hear from Quinn and other students of Mr. B's.  That stressful time of year is upon us with year-end concert next week and your academic finals coming up along with the final testing for your year of work with your strings instruments.  Good luck to all of you and kudos to everyone on the wonderful performances at Variety Night this week!  What an amazing mix of talent this year - it was a pleasure to be in the audience.  As an afterthought, I grabbed Quinn's camera and did manage to tape a couple of acts, including Mr. Bernier and Wyatt - although the stage lighting kind of washed out everyone's faces (okay I am just using that as an excuse for my complete lack of technical skills.)  Anyway, you can still hear the music, which is the important part.  This is their second piece - I was struggling with the zipper on the camera bag for the first song.  (I told you I have my challenges to overcome - and it was very dark in the audience.)
