The Cleveland Orchestra's performance was indeed a feast for the eyes, and even people like Dean and Simon, who hadn't heard much of "D major" or "Serenade for Strings," felt that an occasional visit to Severance Hall to cleanse their ears was a nice choice.
But music was secondary, during the entire performance, Dean's and Simon's attention was elsewhere.
Simon was busy checking out the girls in the front row from Case Western, while Dean occasionally turned his attention to the girl in the red dress playing the cello on stage.
Everyone loves beauty, and it's normal to take a couple more looks at a pretty girl. Dean was also a young man full of vigor.
"Dean, don't rush off, there's a party later," Simon said, pulling on Dean who wanted to stand up and leave after the show.
"A party? Here?" Dean looked around the glittering concert hall, his eyebrows raised in surprise.
"No, of course not," Simon gestured for Dean to follow him, "It's over at Case, but not far from here."
