And I am home! It's been a long but good day. Because of some parade today that had traffic completely screwed up, it took me nearly an hour to get to Carnegie Hall, so I missed the first quarter of the program. I sat down at 2:25 and heard the Wind Ensemble perform three numbers befre intermission. I missed the Collegiate Chorale and the Jazz Ensemble. The second half od the concert featured the two glee clubs and the orchestra, which plays much better today thanit played forty years ago. In the seven years I was in Oxford, OH, there was never aharp in the orchestra. Today, there were two, and i was impressed. The men's and women's glee clubs each sang three numbers and one with the orchestra before they joined forces with the orchestra to perform a new arrangement of the Alma Mater.
There was a reception after the concert at Randolph's in the Warwick Hotel beginning at 5:30. I decided the day was long enough and headed home. Time for dinner and to chill out.
