Hope this finds you well! May I be the first to say ..HAPPY SPRING! Okay, I know I'm early but today I need to remind myself that we are close! It's confirmed as it's high school musical season - the true harbinger of spring!
Saw an AMAZING production last night at Walled Lake Central. They are doing "Hairspray" and I have to say it is worth the price of admission! This is a great show with a great cast. Go see it! Next week we are planning on supporting our local high schools - North Farmington and Farmington High - performing "Grease" and "Beauty and the Beast". We are blessed to have so many opportunities in our area to celebrate the arts. Watching the heart of the kids last night onstage - it was overwhelming.
This was in a program from last week's choir concert at my daughter's school...
Why do we teach music?
Not because we expect you to major in music,
Not because we expect you to play or sing all your life,
Not so you can relax,..
Not so you can have fun...
But rather,
So you will be human. So that you will recognize beauty. So you will be sensitive.
So you will be closer to an infinite beyond this world.
So that you have something to cling to.
So you will have more compassion, more gentleness, more good.
In short...more life.
Of what value will it be to make a more prosperous living unless you know how and why to live?
That's why we do what we do, truly, every day.
Thanks for reading.
