Time to fly for this GISS Music and GISPA student at Butterfly, the Gulf Islands Secondary School end-of-semester music performance at ArtSpring on Salt Spring Island.
Instructor Bruce Smith helps students perform this kind of metamorphosis every year. It’s fascinating to see who’s going to steal the show each semester. (Two unique shows actually, Bruce—a kindred type A personality—just has to get every detail right. And thus is driven to produce two somewhat different shows Wednesday and Thursday nights)
This photo was taken during the dress rehearsal. Nice energy for a rehearsal; I just wish you could hear this photo!
p.s.
I look forward to another stunning performance from this young woman and her peers at GISPA’s Night Circus next week.


Qualifies for a bucket-list-caliber-activity for me. How about you—have you wanted to see this up close and personal?
The new signage in the Mount Maxwell area makes for confident hikers. Remember to stay on the trails!

The south-western slopes are stating to brown up, but here’s still ample greenness in this area of Salt Spring Island.
