Wednesday night found me sitting in Wentz Auditorium, North Central College downtown Naperville waiting and reflecting. I've sat in many a high school auditorium, attended many a concert and performance but none quite like this - the last high school performance.
I loved high school choir in my own day and time. I've delighted in attending choir, band and orchestra performances of our children and this one did not disappoint. the logistics and transitions between groups was rough but the acoustics made one appreciate being in a wonderful facility and not the high school. The groups ranged in their performance from good to very good with a couple of memorable numbers.
It just seemed odd to think of this as the last. Parker graduates this spring and Mackey has chosen other paths; and so this part of the journey ends. No fanfare, no heralds, just ends as life evolves and moves forward. I guess the next round will be Eden singing in a primary program and that will be wonderful.
