High Notes October 16, 2009March 16, 2017 THE MARCH IN TWO MINUTES AND 53 SECONDS My friend Eric made this. You’ll feel as though you were there. I’ve watched it five times (and I was there). I particularly love the sign one marcher carried – “I can’t believe we still have to protest this crap.” This is America, after all – no? Pass it on. AND HOW ABOUT THESE VIOLINS? They are from a town with a 12% unemployment rate. Their school is seriously underfunded and their music program is being cut back. Yet Ohio’s Newark High School Sinfonia tied for first runner-up at the National Orchestra Cup this past April. Just listen to them play.* *It’s okay to make breakfast while you do; no fancy close-ups or anything – just the music. I have lots of other stuff to write about today, but these two are just too good to dilute with anything else. Have a great weekend.
