I’ve been more lax about Daily Images since starting back up. To appease you, here are two images, one today’s, one yesterday’s:

Today in Milwaukee were Labor Day celebrations including a parade, festival, and awesome weather. This is only a small chunk from a longer performance, but it was inspirational to see and hear such good percussion coming from these youths.
