Saturday, May 1, 1982 found Mary Virginia participating in a piano recital. I'd scan the program but (no offense, MV) it's not all that exciting. The front says Celeste Armentrout Piano Recital 1982 and then there is a list of the participants and their musical selections.
MV's name is listed last – which might mean she was the most accomplished performer and she played Brahms – Rhapsody Op. 79 No. 1.

I must admit, I have no recollection of the piano piece I played nor the recital or even where it was. :( Were it not for the program I would probably think it had not happened....sure don't remember any of the other students, although I studied with Mrs. Armentrout another year as I recall. Max Carr, the piano teacher at Wilmington College was too intimidating and I had no desire to spend my life in a stuffy practice room attempting to practice enough to please him.
Mary, there is a bit more about the recital in a letter from Dad which will be in the blog soon. The other students included Tricia Guzzi, Bryan DiCenzo, Chris Shanholtz, Alice Sipe, Cathy Chaney, Jenny Harper, Jenna Shanholtz, Amy Dillon, Mark Sipe, Beth McIntire, Tony Guzzi, and Charles Harper.
