Halloween Concerts

This year three of the kids are involved in music groups, and we get to participate in a lot of concerts, which I love.  Dalyon is starting the cello in the 6th grade with Mrs. Leavitt.  His concerts are short because they don't have a lot that they can play, but he is beginning to enjoy it.  His concert was on Thursday the 25th of October.  They played some fun songs, one with paper instead of their bows, folding it into tiny pieces as they went.  It was a fun concert.

Cody and Mady had a concert the next week on Monday the 29th of October.  Cody played in the Middle School orchestra and Mady played in the High School orchestra and symphony.  Because it was a Halloween concert they were all supposed to dress up for Halloween.  The concert was good and very long because they not only had the orchestra's, but also the bands playing.  It ended up being about three hours long.  We sat on the wrong side of the auditorium to be able to see Cody and Mady on the violin side, but we did get a few sneaky pictures of Cody.  He dressed up as a cowboy, and Mady dressed up as a mechanic, like in the pictures from earlier. 

The concerts were very good and I was glad to share them with my parents.  My Dad has been home since his truck burned in April and we have enjoyed having him come to the kids events with my Mom.  It is always fun to listen to the kids and their progress.
