This is sort of an addition to my post of yesterday evening, in that it's music.

Went to the Renaissance concert on Friday in the rain. It was great! There were a few times when it seemed like Annie was stretching for the notes, but her voice eventually warmed up perfectly and she was hitting the high notes perfectly again.
