Graduation

In the morning was the president’s breakfast for all the graduates. I was one of the few faculty/staff to be invited to the breakfast and we sat at the president’s table. I felt pretty special. In the evening was the Galveston College graduation ceremony so I got to wear my masters robe and hood. Since I had to play and conduct music during it, I did not wear that stupid square hat. I know, I have to be different. My choir performed and did great. I had to play that stupid march that everyone plays. Of course after playing it 2 times march style I got bored. People should learn to never let a musician get bored. So I started playing it like Liberace, very dramatic style, Mozart style, I was waiting for someone to come behind me and slap the back of my head and say, “What the hell are you doing.” Even had the choir started sing the melody on ‘Oh’. I got complements after the ceremony how great I played.
