And the Orchestra Played on

Not having a music adviser in Nelson did not stop a bunch of keen tutors from holding the annual holiday youth orchestra at Nayland College during the school holidays. The orchestra has been going for five years but this year, the first without an adviser, was a success because of the dedication of the tutors, some of whom were once in the orchestra.

Why delve into the superfluity of words to describe the expressions of these musicians.

"Concentration" is an adequate title for all.
