“**Burlington's Jay Terrien taking the stage with Rihanna** Jay Terrien, a 1992 graduate of Burlington High School, used to play soccer on the BHS field. Tonight at 7 p.m., he'll be playing at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. No, Terrien, did not switch sports and become a basketball player. But he will be courtside at tonight's NBA All-Star game, playing viola in Rihanna's string section as part of the half-time show. Terrien is a session player in LA, where he gets jobs on electric bass or acoustic viola. "It's great," he said by telephone. I have to memorize 50 bars of music, a lot of memorization. That's where my classical training comes in." ”
