Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling From glen to glen, and down the mountain side The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying 'tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide. But come you back when summer's in the meadow Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow 'tis I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so. And if you come, when all the flowers are dying And I am dead, as dead I well may be You'll come and find the place where I am lying And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me. And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me I simply sleep in peace until you come to me. // Performed by the Northwood High School Symphonic Orchestra - Danny Boy, as arranged by Harry Alshin.

June 25, 2005: It is Saturday morning and many high school students are still asleep. But for members of the Northwood High School Philharmonic, the morning started hours ago: At the high school, some are rehearsing in Room 501; the others are in the theatre rehearsing with Stan Steele, Coordinator of Visual and Performing Arts for Irvine Unified. As Coordinator, Mr. Steele is responsible for the fine arts programs at 20 elementary schools, 7 middle schools, and 4 high schools. And yet he has never strayed far away from the classrooms. For the last several weeks, Mr. Steele has been preparing this tour orchestra for its Carnegie Hall appearance. In the video, the rehearsal in progress is of Beethoven's Overture to Goethe's Tradedy, Egmont. // As of this posting (05/31/07), Stan Steele has since relinquished his Coordinator job to phase in retirement, though he is still teaching at UC Irvine and conducting the Concert Orchestra at University High School and the Philharmonic Orchestra at Northwood.
