Louie,
Thanks for getting the music program posted. The different pages lend a real insight into who came from where in Tempe. I had forgotten I had a solo, but I'm sure I was nervous about it.
I had started taking french horn lessons in 5th grade and my teacher was named Miss Pendergast (or something like it). She played with the Phoenix Symphony and taught music at the grade school in Phoenix where I attended.
It was a small school and I had lessons with her every week, but I didn't think of my playing as being anything special. Once in Tempe, they tapped me for solos at every level - 6th grade, jr. high and high school, so my anxiety level stayed up!
