Identify the location of the clip – Row R, seat 7 of the JCA Playhouse

Identify the sounds heard in the clip – If you listen closely you can hear the very beginning of the 64th annual Shakespeare festival. This song I think speaks volumes to the sort of week I have had with Rych. Just after you hear the iconic song to begin the show, you can faintly hear Rych come up to me and state that tomorrow will be a glorious day as he will not have to listen to this music any longer and especially that song. I have been planning to share this song as my song recording this week as I knew Rych would appreciate hearing it one last time. Also I recall one of our very first classes when Rych mentioned that different songs can cause humans to have a severe reaction. Whenever I hear this song I really do have a severe reaction as I immediately associate these noises with the long hours of tech week and the one 55 class that Rych spent setting levels with this song and this song only.
