I was having a clear out of the garage, trying to ruthlessly cull craft materials that I knew I had too many or or was not using to pass onto others. I also cleared out my PGCE teaching folder and some resources. I will probably regret it but I haven't used them for at least a decade so they must go!
In one box, I found a whole load of programmes from concerts I performed in when younger and inside also, was a magazine from my borough, sharing what had been going on in the borough.
I looked through it and found this picture of my recorder consort (this was about 1994 or 5).
We were performing as part as a historical festival and our recorder group got dressed up and performed outside the temple. I remember this occasion because two of the important members or our group were away which meant I got to play the solo for a recorder version of Telemann's Viola concerto!
We used to do really fun things with our recorder ensemble. This is the musical group I was probably part of for the longest in my life. I was in it from about the age of 7 to 18! Alot of girls left when they were in their early teens but there were die-hard members of us who were in it until the bitter end! Our teacher, the lady in pink to the left, is an incredible woman who was a huge inspiration for me, musically, educationally and sartorially!
Can you spot which one is me? Also, can you spot my Mum? She was helping out as well that day! My sister is hidden from view.
Happy memories of a happy time. If I could talk about the happiest times of my life, they were belonging to this music school and all the things I did there and friends I made.
It sounds like a very special time indeed.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to tell but are you in the middle in the yellow skirt?
xx
It's very hard to tell which is you,but is it one of the two players in black? I'm probably way out with this guess. Isn't it great to look back on things you did when you were young. Unfortunately, I don't have any photos from my time ballet dancing when I was young.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing that you are the one in the yellow dress in the middle! Am I correct? xxx
ReplyDeleteOh, what fun that must have been, and nearly as much fun, in a different way, to remember. This morning I was looking for a date in my computer files and the search took me to emails of 15 years ago, telling of events I'd completely forgotten. I was amazed at all the details of those days gone by.
ReplyDeleteI think you're the one in the yellow dress. What fun memories you have to look back on!
ReplyDeleteAre you the huge smile in the gorgeous peach dress to the left of the flag pole? You could be any of these accomplished women. I would love to hear much more of how the phenomenon of Kezzie G was formed!
ReplyDeleteYou've got up to so much fun over the years xx
