For Grandma and Grandpa

Here’s a little taste of the kids Christmas concerts. Over two and a half hours of concerts condensed into less than 2 minutes… you’re welcome.

Caleb’s A cappella concert- I really liked how the choir director didn’t shy away from using actual Christmas music.

Caitlin’s orchestra concert- I have no idea what this song was. It wasn’t familiar (or didn’t sound familiar), but the cello’s were the best of the bunch.

Two words about beginning orchestra- amazing and painful (amazingly painful?). Seriously though, most of these kids have been playing their instrument of choice for only three months. That fact that they are ON STAGE and mostly playing together is huge. There sure is a big improvement from year to year. The Concert and Symphonica groups were awesome.

The bad video is most certainly not from me holding in laughter… nope, not at all. I was bursting with pride.

I didn't know Caitlin played cello!! That is awesome! I loved or orchestra in middle school and choir in high school! Such fun memories!
