So easy, he can do it with his eyes closed

Derek Morrow, a seventh-grade student at Karcher Middle School in Burlington, performs during a school concert Tuesday with a blindfold. Band members were encouraged by director Ron Pedersen to cover their eyes or turn their music stands around to demonstrate their mastery of the music. Tuesday’s concert featured performances by the school’s Wall of Sound jazz band as well as the seventh- and eighth-grade bands. (Photo by Ed Nadolski)
