In the times of holiday concerts, the one we are most excited about is at Nina's school, GAMP.  This is a public magnet school, with a very big emphasis on music, classical, jazz, music theory, choir, and more and more.  The children are expected to keep up their academic grades and when they are absent from a lesson because of one or another of the above activities, it is their responsibility to complete what they missed.  Quite remarkable.  No wonder the concerts at this school are phenomenal!

| The entire school crowds the front, the aisles, the back of their wonderful concert hall and sing for us! |

Today we are off to see Nina play her saxophone in a few smaller ensembles.  Can't wait!
