Another year comes to an end...

With carrying 20 units at the university, teacher 60+ violinists, as well other unexpected occurrences, this has been a particularly tough year for me personally, emotionally, physically. However despite all that my violin students and I still managed to put on a great concert. They started out performing Mariachi songs in their Mariachi outfits. After intermission the kids became rock musicians coloring their hair, changing into jeans and black t-shirts, putting on colorful shades and performing songs by the Beatles. Every year surprises me with what the students are capable of doing. No one year is like the other...some years are better than others but in the end the outcome is always rewarding. Now for some photos:

Awww, that's great Mano. I'm glad it went well. Isn't it rewarding when you coach people and they have successful outcomes?

But, where are you in these pictures? Hmmm?

Nice pictures! And congrats on seeing a rough year through!

Love the one of the Mariachi's especially because it reminded me of TJ and all the Mariachi's at the square! :)

Well done, Mano, well done!!

I wish I had some kind of musical talent.... :o
