[Magdalen] Hot in church tomorrow?

[James Oppenheimer-Crawford]

The final action of the entire week of Amherst Early Music is a mass
musical extravaganza of instruments and voices. The recorder orchestra had
its own numbers to perform. One of our best recorder instructors, John
tyson was in charge of this group, and his big advice was if you make a
mistake, DO NOT make a "mistake face." A very practical teacher!
