The party

No picture for this one - sorry ! I had a feeling it might not be safe for members of staff to be anywhere near the pool with anything sensitive to water - a fact I can confirm through personal experience!

Fun was had by all - especially Tom who, proudly wearing his tasteful new swimming trunks (adorned in a truly revealing Romano-Greek style), took great delight in being repeatedly deposited in the pool by grateful orchestra members.

'.....and this one's for the slow movement of the Shostakovitch..... and this one's for making us do sectionals.....'

It was really touching to see the young adults express their gratitude and deep respect for the source of their musical inspiration - their eminent conductor, Mr Seligman.

Other notable activities included a limbo dancing competition won on this occasion by Tristran Button !

Later today, after some more relaxation at the hotel, we head for the mountains and a concert at Asiago.
