When I was a senior in high school 1975, I too used "Banquet" in a school project! I went to an all girls Catholic BUT very liberal school (I know it's kind of an oxymoron). We had a kind of communal spirited alternative division, of which I belonged. We worked on creating a slide show on "Hunger in The City" and some brilliant person working on the project suggested using "Banquet" as the music for the show (taking my bows, thank you). It was a huge hit and we wound up touring with it to government agencies and schools, eventually it was listed with the Chicago Public Library. It no longer exists, but I am still pleased and proud of that piece. Thanks to Joni, I don't know if she realizes all the positive memories she has been a part of for so long, with so many of us!
