Wow! What a fantastic four days in
the park, capped off by a once in a lifetime chance to view the shuttle launch. It seemed to eerily tie in with this fall's marching show. What an incredible sight!

Thought it might be fun to let folks know that Reese's (Farnell) horn quartet in the Dallas Youth Orchestra tied for first in their Young Artist Concerto Competition! They will play live on WRR on Thurs (Feb 5) somewhere between 12:30 and 1:00. They will also play at 2:30pm on the March 8 GDYO (Greater Dallas Youth Orchestra) concert in the Myerson Symphony Center in Dallas.

And I might be a little bit proud.
