UPB Concert

My wife had her season finale concert last night. She plays in a British brass band, and they are quite good. Last night's concert also featured a (bag)pipe band playing with the band on some of the numbers, as well as some Irish dancers. The total performance was outstanding. For a Scots-blooded brass lover like me, it was one of the best concerts I've ever attended. I was particularly moved by the arrangement of Amazing Grace with the pipes and band together. I don't care how "evangelical" that hymn is. I think it belongs in the LDS hymnal.

I'm really glad my wife gets a chance to play in a high-level ensemble again after taking so many years off while we struggled with money and schooling.
