A few milestones
Well, hello there! Happy New Year, one month in ;) It’s been a while, hasn’t it? I hope all of you have been well. I took a few pictures when I went to Guildford this week. I haven’t been taking a lot of photos lately, mostly because I’ve been working on my Berklee music biz [...]
Roxi in Turkey
A couple of weeks ago, Roxi had the most amazing experience–she flew to Ankara, Turkey to participate in the AMIS International Honour Band and Choir Festival. Roxi and 12 other students (6 choir, 7 band) plus their chaperones flew out of Amsterdam early Wednesday morning. They arrived in sunny Ankara later that afternoon. Most of these [...]

Roxi “live” for a limited time
Here’s a link for Roxi’s “Diva’s Lament” performance from this weekend’s talent show. I’m not sure how long I’ll leave the video up, so if you want to see it, best to watch it now! ;-) BTW, does anyone have any tips on filming stage stuff? All my videos look like this–really washed out.

Romeo and Juliet at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, London
Roxi and her classmates went on a field trip into Town yesterday. They left school at 4pm, went to dinner (the kids are allowed to break into small groups and eat wherever they like), and then saw Romeo and Juliet at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre. Unfortunately, Roxi didn’t get home until well after midnight, so I [...]
Roxi’s French Adventure
Roxi and about 30 other middle school students visited Normandy, France over the long Bank Holiday Weekend. They boarded a coach early Friday morning–skipping school, woo hoo!–and drove out to the coast. There, the bus drove onto a train that zipped them through the chunnel. Forty-five minutes later, they popped out in France. The kids and [...]
