Last summer our daughter and 20 other students from colleges and universities throughout the nation converged on the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, Calf. for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. For 11 weeks these music students were provided the opportunity to perform with oversight from an impressive collection of Disney entertainment professionals, renowned clinicians, and accomplished musicians.

The photo above features the “Three Little Pigs” during a Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf? medley segment staged on the forecourt of Cinderella’s Castle. This is Spring Break week in Texas. The three ladies crouching, including our daughter, reunited to attend the Houston Rodeo where Lady Antebellum performed. They moved their party to the Salt Lick Bar-B-Que for ribs and brisket. They jammed in our daughter’s apartment, celebrated on Austin’s famed 6th Street, and will soon be headed to the Dallas-Ft. Worth area. They’ve been texting, Skyping, dancing, laughing, singing, and celebrating non-stop.
