Well, the concert was last night.
LLB and S survived the Star Spangled Banner - although LLB dropped it an octave because playing in front of 250 people is a little daunting and down right scary!
Her Grinch solo was so cool!! She had a two or three measure solo in the middle of the piece. She did great!
Today LLB and HP are going to join the high school pep band after school. The eighth graders have been invited to play with the pep band at the basketball games. The one only rehearsal is this afternoon. The two of them are psyched about playing some wicked cool music. LLB got a preview of the music from the band director when we were at the high school to fetch #1 the other day. I can tell you - it's awesome!
It's too bad the eighth graders can't join the high schoolers for the parades on Saturday. #1 is playing in 3 parades - they are playing one song. By the time they get to the end of the 3rd parade, they will be really sick of Rudolph!! The color guard kids are dressing up like reindeer - complete with antlers. They are sooo cute! #1 and the rest of the instrumental kids are wearing Santa hats.
My school handbell ringers will be marching in one Christmas Parade on Saturday. I need it to warm up a little bit - if it is below 35, I don't want the bells out there. I have a couple that have been dropped (these are school kids and they are careful, but klutzy) and the cold can make them crack. (I know this from personal experience.) I can't afford to lose a bell right before our concert.
My church handbell group is ringing on Sunday for two services.
See, it's all music all of the time. But it IS the season.
