<p>I was poking around on the Parents site today and enjoyed the pics of the HMS Pinafore production. I chuckled at the thought of a PLEBE being Concert Master! Good for him. Anyway, is there an opportunity for orchestral music or was this a one-time fluke? Dd doesn't like the thought of leaving the 'cello behind and wonders if there is any non-band music available.</p>
<p>There are lots of opportunities for Midshipman who love music. My father and I attended the Spring Organ Concert at the Chapel last Sunday and were pleasantly surprised to see that a Midshipman String Ensemble was going to play. Four of the vilolinists were plebes (including the concertmaster from Pinafore) as was the lone cello. Don't bring the cello for Plebe summer since it will just sit in storage, but you could bring it out for Plebe Parent Weekend.</p>
