both girls were at the cathedral today for an orchestra competition. both thought their respective orchestra’s didn’t do great so we’ll see how they get on. esther is back there on thursday and friday with her trombone for her big band and concert band.
one of the auckland schools did a performance of John Cage’s 4:33 which is pretty brave for an orchestral competition!
