After Spartan Spectacular on Saturday night, grandson Max took this wonderfully ebullient photo of me with Peter, Ed and Lee. It was late. We were thrilled to be a part of the MSU Music Department's premier fall event, the 41st Spartan Spectacular. Presented in the Great Hall of the Wharton Center, Spartan Spec showcases MSU music faculty and students.
Saturday's performance was a sell out. Dr. Jon Weber, percussion professor, was the superb marimba soloist. Jazz Octet I, MSU Symphony Band, SMB Drumline, SMB Colorguard, SMB Twirlers and the Spartan Marching Band all proved again by their stellar performances what a world class program the Music Department brings to the campus at MSU.
Now, a word about handing a camera to a kid. Sure, the photo might not be as clear or as framed or as focused as an adult might do. Notice I said might, since lots of adults are not great at handling a small camera. What I love about photos by kids is the perspective from their eye level. Max's photo shows a very happy and proud group of people after a very warming night of live performance music. He captured the moment perfectly.
