Program Notes
Though the journey of life is filled with mountain tops of excitement, there are always valleys where mountains are present. Just as sure as there are moments of excitement in life, there will be a return to the valley. These desolate valleys of life are often marked by hard times and struggles, but through these hard times there can be optimism for the future. The outlook can still be one of encouragement, as the next exciting mountain is just on the horizon.
