Olympics

As I sit here watching the Olympics, I can't help but think how big a role music plays in the games. Over the last 2 weeks, national anthems have been played, music has been skated to, video montages have been shown, performances at the opening (and soon to be closing) ceremonies, not to mention NBC's theme music and much, much more. This music has to come from somewhere--from being written to performed and published. These people got a start somewhere and we need to encourage that to happen in our schools. Watching the athletes on the podium--music evokes quite a response--wow.

On that Olympic thought, I really wish curling was available to watch more frequently than every 4 years!
