JUNE 3, 2005

 

At April's piano recital last evening, she arrived in a
tea-length cloud of pink chiffon, sewn by Suzanne.
April's set of three pieces was about halfway through the program.
Below is a rare photo of her actual performance!

To our surprise, Gale awarded April the coveted
Outstanding Achievement Award
for the student who has shown the most improvement
in the Manor Studio intermediate class.

Sydney Manor (right) received the well-deserved
award for the advanced class

 

The plaque says:
OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT
APRIL McGINNESS
JUNE 2005

 

Grinning like a Cheshire cat . . .
April shifts effortlessly from hot-pink chiffon in June
to tae kwon do dobok (uniform) in July
when she will earn the right to don the honored black-belt!

the occasion by Suzanne. Here are a few photos.

April studies at the Piano Studio of Gale Manor.
Her recital was at the Woman's Club of Arlington.
She admirably performed a Brahms duet with fellow-student
Sarah Wilcox, the Waltz No. 16 in E Major,
and then two solo pieces,
The Bear in the Forest by Blok
and Daydreams by Mier.

Betty Grable's got nothin' on this shot!

Gentlemen beware: a junior blackbelt lurks
beneath this confident exterior!
