Right before Spring Break the TCIS Development Office sponsored a fundraiser in Seoul called the Crystal Gala. It was a grand night of performance, fancy dresses, great food, friends and fun. The highlight of the evening was the musical performances--primarily by the students. Sarah sang in the high school choir presentation that night, plus there were some wonderful instrumental numbers played by students that sounded outstanding.
The development office wanted some staff acts in the program as well. A few of us at the school put together the first ever, TCIS staff jazz band. It was especially fun for me (Ryan) because playing in the band was a blast from the past. It was just like our college days, George Zickefoose was on the drums and David Miller was on the trombone. It was fun to dust off the instruments and give it a go.
I also enjoyed the opportunity to sing in a quartet with our Headmaster, Dr. Penland. The night was filled with reflections upon the meaningful history of the school and dreams about its hopeful future. It was a memorable evening.
Your dad was just asking the other day if I thought you were still playing the sax. Thanks for answering him with that excellent video. We remain tearfull & proud remembering those 5th grade lessons! Sending love....Mom
