Great job on Finals, everyone! I was really impressed with the amount of preparation for this playing test and with your growth this year. If I had given you this music at the beginning of the year, most of you would have panicked and had no idea how to approach it. Instead, most of you panicked and play well anyway!

Photographic evidence that we did, in fact, actually perform on the trip

After a long, hard day of doing the tourist thing

They seemed to handle this ride better than I did

Further proof. At least one person is looking at me while I conduct, which I appreciate

NO. WAY. Yes this ride goes all the way upside down. I think it's called "The Upside-Down Vominator". I do like the chill dude in the middle who looks like he's checking email on his phone


New pictures from someone saving up for a MacBook Pro
Ready to rock

Don't think you're supposed to do this

No joke - our view of the Golden Gate Bridge


The bridge really was there all along

Got vertigo trying to take a picture of the tower

It was a double decker!

Basses love Snoopy!!!

The guy who doesn't ride the rides holds the purses. But I didn't get wet!

At the hotel with our awards ceremony goodies! The trophy, not the ice cream sandwiches being eaten in the background. Although those were good too.

Aw yiss
