Westmoreland Symphonic Winds: In Honor, In Memory, With Love

I'm sitting here at school waiting for the Westmoreland Symphonic Winds (WSW) concert to start. Why? Because I thought it started at 6:30...well it starts at 8- 45 more minutes to go. I rushed home when I got off work at 5 to freshen up, scooted out the door by 6:10 already frazzled because I thought I was going to waltz in late.

So what happens when I pull into A-lot? I see nothing but a desolate campus. I was a little confused to say the least. At least there are people here waiting now! I don't feel so alone. I was here before the musicians even got here, haha. Oh well!

I was also worried I was underdressed. I have on a nice black sweater with silver stripes, a silver belt, jeans and boots. Luckily I'm not the only one wearing jeans. There are some women in pant suits though. I felt a little awkward waiting around by myself so I ducked into a computer lab.

I'm covering for News Writing. My article will mainly focus on the WSW and what the meaning of the concert is. If anybody knew Beth Ann Johnson and Elyse Jeanne Saraceni (SHU students and first season WSW members killed in the 1988 terrorist bombing of Pan Am flight 103), or you just have input about the concert, please let me know because it would be very valuable to my article.

If you leave your comments here please leave your first and last name, what year student you are/ official title, etc. Feel free to E-mail me at Sunandstorm@aol.com if you do not wish to leave your feedback in a public forum.

I'm very interested in learning more about their lives. Who were they? What were their hobbies? I would love some anecdotes to include in my article.

Even feedback about the concert itself would be wonderful!

Well, I think it's about time I get myself a seat!
