It was a nice Sunday night in June and Danielle had assembled all of her students for a last concert, so we brought the chocolate covered strawberries and Suzanne brought flowers and we headed in to hear the first pianist the first soloist and her accompanist and then a few piano duets

before Becca Cadoff did her thing

with accompanist and was awarded a certificate from Danielle for having completed the appropriate courses.

As Danielle departed the stage there were numerous piano players

which led me to take a picture of my finger as the music continued Suzanne was driven to boredom Ben was driven to grave concern and I was driven to self portraiture

But, our efforts were rewarded when Jane appeared and hit her notes (for many many pictures)

Next there was another pianist

and then it was Fred's turn to sing

which she did before the man in black came to rearrange things for the group sing

with accompanist and after a few more notes we saluted Danielle presented flowers to Jane and took the requisite pictures of Jane and Suzanne Jane, Suzanne and me Fred and Jane Fred, Lucy and Jane Fred, Lucy Jane and John Jane and Becca Fred, Jane and Becca Fred, Jane, Becca and Danielle and then as Jane dealt with the food Ben emerged and posed with Suzanne before Jane posed with Danielle and Michael and then Jane said a warm thank you to Danielle and we called it a day (and a year and a career).
