The poinsettas are in and that means that it’s time for Dobson’s holiday concert. I haven’t blogged in over a week (shocking, I know), but I’ve been keeping busy trying to get all these finals done and over with. I’ve got one or two more assignments I’ve got to finish but after that, it’s goodbye ASU for an entire month! Today was one of my first days off so, of course, Dan, Linh, and I recorded and filmed Dobson’s concert. It’s a Dobson tradition that the symphonic band performs Sleigh Ride every winter. This year, Gomez did something a little different. He decided to invite the entire Dobson faculty who play or have ever played an instrument to sit in with the students. It was a fantastic idea and really made Gomez the topic of conversation in the teacher’s lounges. He even encouraged Dobson’s new principal to conduct. It really brought an air of nostalgia back to the holiday season for many of us.
