(In case anyone else is keeping track, we have five more after this one.)
An era ended over the summer: St. Patricia was assumed directly into heaven, leaving behind swirling rumors of retirement. Her replacement is a dynamic and apparently effective young man; whether he is worthy of canonization remains to be seen.
However, the fifth-grade band's rendition of "Hot Cross Buns" - one of the six four-measure chestnuts performed in unison by the beginning band students at EVERY fall concert - was certainly credible, the sixth grade woodwinds were actually in tune, and the seventh- and eighth-grade symphonic band tackled some remarkably advanced pieces for so early in the year.
So perhaps a fast-tracked springtime beatification is in order. We'll see.
Watch this space.
