Many connections were made or remade on May 14th, but one thing that connected all of us was the music performed by the Open’s musical community members–whether former students, their parents, or music teachers, the songs and the joy with which they were performed spoke to us. Tom Valens had set up a video camera on a tripod in front of the stage, and after the celebration he edited out the “in between” moments to create this souvenir of a wonderful day. Some songs took us back to a time they were sung at school, others reflect the current moment in the life of the performer. Howie Cort coordinated the house band, and she and Dave came up with the order of the performances. Just as at the Alumni Art Show, they came from all the decades of Open.
