Best thing about the orchestra, we got out of class

Here is that great grammar school orchestra. I definitely had to be the worst player in the group. But because there was the music store connection I believe that was the only reason the nun allowed me to stay. I played by ear and consequently memorized each piece by repetition. I would be dead in the water if Sister Eulalia said, "Thomas take it from letter J." I would hunt and peck until it sounded familiar then speed it up an d almost het it. The marimba was in the key of C so I always followed the violins. (as best as I could)
