Things to Come

And just like that, it’s June. So much has happened since the last post here back on May 16th, we’re out of breath. There’s been barely a moment to reflect on Essentially Ellington, the CWU Jazz Festival with Dafnis Prieto, Waldo Fest, band camp, and A Chorus Line. Yet there are still so many more things to come! We’re knee deep in auditions. Final concerts for band, choir, orchestra, and jazz are all imminent. Marching band will take to the streets around Roosevelt in the annual neighborhood parade. We’ve got picnics and potlucks to prep for. And then there’s graduation. A bunch of our kids will head out to their next gig. We’ve grown to love them so; how do we let them go? We’ll try follow their lead and keep looking ahead (while hoping they come back to visit from time to time). We can’t wait to see what they do next!
