Bonjou!
Rehearsals are well underway- all of us are playing the the band (wind instrument and percussion ensemble). Teiga also is playing horn in the philharmonic orchestra. We have two directors for the band, as I think Liz mentioned in a previous post. The Haitian director, Pierre, from Jacmel, speaks Creole during most of the rehearsal, but we're able to understand him very well. Music is a very universal means of communication. He does translate occasionally and speak to us in English. A favorite comment: "you're playing like peanut butter and jelly- lazy!" Pierre is directing one piece, the American director is leading the other- West Side Story.

The photos are wonderful and I can't wait to hear your stories when you return. Stay well, play well, and put away the PB&J!!
