It is a bit late to be documenting this community service project but, as I see it, every hour counts. Why should I exclude this experience?
On May 31, 2008 over 100 of Lovejoy's Senior class walked across the stage to accept their diplomas to the beat of our entire group of stinged instrumentalists. I myself added to the music by playing along on the violin to the tune of the very popular "Pomp and Circumstance." It was wonderful to see the faces of young people who have come such a long way in their twelve or so years of rigorous education. I thoroughly enjoyed being a part of their transition into the next stages of their young lives. This performance provided me the chance to act as a musical encouragement of future success and prosperity.
The time for this project spanned over a period of seven hours that involved set up, sound checks, and encouragement to younger players as well as graduating seniors. I'll never forget the relief on the faces of those who perambulated quicly off the stage to reach the final end of their hardwork and dedication to education.
