Roseau, Minnesota

We are in Roseau, Minnesota, the border town to Canada. We have just played at the huge compound of recital hall/community center/high school/middle school etc. I guess the town people are using this building for pretty much everything. I'm not kidding but the local police officers were training for school-shooting with air guns almost right next to the concert hall so we were told not to go beyond the certain door. We didn't take chance. No matter it was an air gun or a real gun, I didn’t want to get shot by police officers.

Our green room happened to be the music room of the middle school covered with cheerful and joyful posters. I wish the music room of my middle school was as forthcoming and motivating as this!
