Proud Mommy Moment!!!

Tonight was the Spring Concert! Do I look excited enough!?! My babies both played in the Symphonic Orchestra this evening - John on violin, Alex on the Upright Bass - also known as the Double Bass. This evening was the culmination of a year's worth of hard work and it really paid off!
Alex had the honor of playing a duet with the only other Upright Bass player in 5th grade! Not only did they both NAIL their pieces, but it is the first time that the school has ever had a duet from two bass players.
Each girl takes takes lessons with the same outstanding teacher. Not only did their teacher come to the concert, but HER teacher, whom she calls maestro also came. He gifted each girl with a pair of earrings that he brought back from Turkey for them to wear especially this evening!

Although I was unable to get any pictures of John on stage, he absolutely nailed his part as well. The violins were a big part of a lot of the pieces that were played this evening! But, on to bigger and better things for him...he is switching over to the Cello next year and will be only one of five cellists! Hmmm....do I smell a special piece for John on stage next year... might be rabbit!
