This month has been very busy with the kids Holiday concerts and musical performances. The high school started the month off with the concert on December 1st (Yes Jade's 16th birthday). They changed the format this year and did a variety show style. This allowed for the band, orchestra, concert band, marching band, choirs, symphonic band, chamber orchestra, jazz band, and a variety of others to all perform together. The final part of the concert was the marching band all on stage, about 120 kids, playing their marching band songs for all their family members that came. Jade is in Marching and Concert band. She was glad when this week was over.
Personally, I loved the format and being able to see everyone perform together.
December 5th Fame performed
December 6th, the Marching Band marched in 2 local parades. All the kids were able to play in the morning parade, however, the afternoon parade, only the brass instruments played as it was raining to hard for the woodwinds to be in the rain. Poor Jade was so wet and cold when the afternoon parade was over.
Then that even the kids wrapped up their final Fame performance. They had some great singers this year and we could really hear them all way to the back of the stage.
The 10th gave way to the elementary kids concert. The 4th and 5th grade choir, band and orchestra. Zach is in both orchestra and choir. He is with the sopranos and plays the violin. Ellie can't wait until next year when she can join orchestra and choir.
Then tonight the middle school had their band concert for 6th grade and concert bands. Jairon had a blast on stage, but Corbyn was missing from tonight performance. Sadly even if he had not gotten in a fight and been suspended, having needed IVIg today, he would have had to miss the concert tonight anyway. However, dangerously low platelet count and emergency infusion is a much better reason to miss a concert than, suspension, emergency infusion, and head trauma observation due to starting a fight. Oh well... What can you do?
