- I was photographed performing in the scored demolition of an old player piano during this guest appearance of the ensemble at Cathy Church's Senior Recital. Speculation followed about the impact this photo had on the NIU School of Visual and Performing Arts' reputation and fundraising programs after concerned Daily Chronicle readers assumed we had destroyed school property. In fact, the piano had been liberated from an Illinois barn and had to be cleansed of layers of straw and bird droppings before making its final appearance.
