Valentine's Dance

As many of you know, today is Valentine's day. In honor of this special occasion, the school music department hosted a Dinner Dance, in which spaghetti and Jazz, breadsticks and Rock, and mints and music mixed for a few mellifluous moments. I performed in (I would list all of the numbers, but even I don't expect my memory to be that good! In fact, I've probably left out a bunch that I played in...in other words, please enjoy this list of a small sample of the performance tonight):

• Boo-Ray (percussive joy)
• Stick Schtick (percussive joy)
• Sea Sounds (we all got some good "vibes" from this piece)
• Embraceable You (choral in Utah, and we don't even have an ocean!)
• Smoke on the Water (Rockish piece played by the Jazz Band)
• Too Young (Ballad)
• It's Only a Paper Moon (Jazzy piece)
• Do Nothin' 'till You Hear From Me (likewise)
• In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning (ditto)
• That's Cool (Cool Jazz)
• Steam Heat (choral in Utah, and we don't even have an ocean!)
• We had a few skittish people up on stage, didn't we?
  
• and much, much more!

It was fun, the food was good, the dancing was slow in more ways than one, the auction made some money, I assume, and the performers had fun, and the night was pretty much worth the effort we have seen over the past weeks and months, I'd assume.
