Oskaloosa Symphony

Here is a photo of a strapping young man in this year's Oskaloosa Symphony Concert.  I came back as an Oskaloosa Alumni.  Nerves infected me quicker than the virus from the Hershey-Chase experiment.  I hadn't put a lot of practice into my viola and I became worried that I would be a let down.  In the end, however, things were fine.  I actually surprised myself at my level of play.  The three hour rehearsal prior to the concert really allowed me to harness some of my previous ability.  I just like this photo because it really emphasizes my blue bow.  Typically bows are brown or black, but I like to keep classy and original with the blue.
