Wheaton-themed Clue

We celebrated Liz's party with a transformed version of 'Clue', using all Wheaton places, people, and "weapons". The party was held in a conference room in the Blanchard tower - in 'the heart of Wheaton'.

Sarah artfully decorated the cake with the Wheaton logo







A wonderful evening of food, fellowship, and fun!

Senior Recital


Against the fear that I might be singing my own praises, I thought my recital went very well. I felt that I was able communicate musical ideas and that it was a fair representation of my musical growth over the past four years. Here are some snapshots from that very special evening:


Playing the Bach Double Concerto with two friends.




Program:
Bach Double Concerto BWV 1060
Schumann Romance No. 1
Gordon Jacob Seven Bagatelles for Solo Oboe
Saint-Saens Sonata for Oboe


The audience was very enthusiastic, and
had Laura and I come back on stage twice!

Over Spring Break (the week before), I had made 13 loaves of bread, 8 lbs. of fudge, and 150 Ginger Snaps for my reception. My family did a great job of arranging the food.




It was wonderful to have my entire family here to support me.
