Day 28 in 2023

MSBOA Solo & Ensemble time. This is the first in-person S&E since February 2020, and therefore Calvin's first in-person high school S&E. It's a sressful experience, playing for a judge with all the noise of the chaotic hallway as a background, but he nailed it. Blue ribbons (I ratings) in both his unaccompanied solo and in his trio.
