Come Oh Holy Spirit, please fill the hearts of thy faithful, enkindle in us the fire of Thy Divine Love, send forth your Spirit Oh Lord, and it shall be created, and You Oh Lord, shall renew the face of the earth.

Less than a month from now, summer 2025 will officially end.
Then, I will be 5 decades and 6 years.
4 years to senior years and yes, I am being called an Old Lady with much protestations on my part.
I see peers online and have to admit, the wear and tear of years do show already. Glaringly!
I tried looking down at my cp camera and was so horrified at the result.
This was after I saw a short clip of the Golden Girls

Hilarious, but reality jarring!!!
So, yes, I make these false promises and resolutions to take an extra bit of care for my morning and nightly facial routine...which is almost non existent at this point.
A 66 year old Korean grandma swears by her regimen that makes her look sa youthful.
Anyway, as a tribute to this almost done year and the beautiful summer coming to a close, please allow me to share the St. James Summer Band Camp pieces, my daughter was so fortunate to be part of last week.
They were under the wonderful wisdom and guidance of the so awe inspiring and very positive Cheryl Ferguson.

Ms. Ferguson, is just like my daughter's music teacher at Golden Gate for the past 2 years and 3 summer band camps and 2 Manitoba Honour Band experiences, Ms. Darrell Chrisp, exude awe inspiring positive inspiration.
I want to honor these amazing women.
Sharing with your the following clips of the concert entitled : From Score to Screen.

My Ana was in Snare Drums there for Gustav Holst Mars for Planets. A very challenging piece as admitted by most musicians. A lot of complicated notes and rests. Tech jargon I cant really comprehend.

Ana was doing Suspended Cymbals and the Triangle for this Jurassic Park by John Williams. Another favorite. I love how the shimmering splendid the cymbals make. So, ethereal!

She was in Bell in Colonel Bogey. A different arrangement to that of their Honour Band rendition.

For Bonsai Tree she was on Vibraphone.

For that piece which was actually played first, she was on Crash Cymbals .If I am not mistaken, that was used in Star Wars. Correction, Space Odyssey (1968) Toy Story etc.
It kinda reminded me of Star Wars.
My favorite of all, as was their last piece: Mission Impossible, she had a 5 second solo part on Bonggo time stamp: 1:17 to 1:20

May Our Great God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit be praised, now and always!
