So for Hancher the "tour" is over; we are home. For David and Daniel, it is the last stop on the tour. The Iowa City events have been wonderful as well. Kids are the same everywhere and so the events here are much the same and as well received. There were a few things different. D&D did an Iowa Commuications Network show from Hancher that was great fun and maybe the best we have ever had. Marshalltown was even one of the sites online for it so it was like revisiting that stop, from the Hancher stage. There was the pillow fight at the Children's Museum and a special concert that Daniel gave of about 30 minutes of improvised piano that was incredible. And much, much more.
Today is the final concert at Hancher. It is morning and cool. I am so looking forward to the more formal presentation of their work in the form of the Frog Bride. The Prokofiev from Daniel should be great too. Marshalltown is bringing a bus of high school kids and parents to visit campus and see the show.
David said that they will have one day at home in New York before they head out again to another gig, this time in Madison. They will have left so much behind here in Iowa. New friends across the state. Better storytellers. Better listeners. Sparked imaginations. Renewed appreciation for cultures outside our own. A wider view of the world. A very warm spot in our hearts.
We will see you again. Safe journeys.
Ron
