From October 2006 - June 2007, 25-years-worth of current and former students of Mr. David Canepa (Theatre Director at Whitney Young High School) worked in secret on a "Reunion Show" for his retirement.
As his former colleague, I was was honored to have been asked to create, manage, and conduct the pit orchestra for this special show. This also involved arranging music for the orchestra. My composer-husband, Matthew Hallaron, and I also arranged music for the 40-member pit orchestra.
I conducted the one-night reunion performance on June 11, 2007. Students from Mr. Canepa's 25-years of teaching all came together for this extraordinary evening.
