We are back late from going to Paige's concert in Fort Collins. She is in the CSU Concert band which is a non audition ensemble for students like Paige who love performing and playing music but aren't necessarily music majors. There are some music majors in the band but they are playing an instrument that they don't normally play. You wouldn't know this by listening to the concert however, because both the orchestra and band played beautifully. It is a little known fact that I was a music major my first semester at CSU. I played the violin and was not very good according to my orchestra professor who took great joy in pointing this out to me frequently. I cringe when I have to walk by his sculpture in the University Center for Performing Arts which has also been Alex's "home" for the last six years. Alex has assured me that the lighting fixture above the statue has not been "attended" to since he has been there! Love is shown in many ways!
