Violin-ness

The kids had their Winter Concert in mid-December. Beginning Band, Advanced Band, Choir, Beginning Orchestra, and (my kids) Advanced Orchestra. It was a long concert and, of course, the group my kids were in played last. Thank goodness for embroidery projects.


Sofia and Anthony are really enjoying orchestra. Anthony is so enthusiastic about every new song. He comes home and looks up a version on Youtube, because he can't wait to share it with me. It think it's been harder on Sofia. She went from being the only kid who could play their instrument well (Elementary School) to *gasp* fourth chair (of the 1st violins). The pain and humiliation!

I think this one was Dramatic Essay. .

MY VIDEO FAILED...BIG TIME!

I thought they did a great. However, they didn't play their Harry Potter Medley! (I guess they did played it for the school audience during the day. Jerks. Grown ups like Harry Potter too ya' know.)

...and speaking of violin awesomeness, everyone in the world should check out the Vitamin String Quartet. Who knew Lady Gaga could sound so amazing? ...and it's about time the Super Mario Brothers were acknowledged as the cultural icons they are
