Youth Symphony

 The Youth Symphony had a mini-concert today.  The organization was doing a fund-raiser, and as part, they performed a few pieces at the Destin Commons.  It was a nice day, but a little windy.  Still, I think it was a great performance.  Here are some still photos.  First, the kids setting up.  Bode is right in the middle in a black shirt.

Here's a close up of Bode.

This is a shot from behind the orchestra.

Finally, here's Bode doing some tuning before the performance begins.

Here's a movie of the warm-up.  I didn't record the whole warm up because I can only upload videos directly to this website that are less than 100 MB.

I uploaded some of the longer pieces to Youtube.   First up is the Egmont Overture.

Next we have the Barber of Seville.

Finally, we have the theme from Star Wars.

We are very proud of how hard Bode has worked.

We had quite a weekend--swim meet yesterday, concert today.  It'd be nice if we had a day to rest, but I guess we have to start again tomorrow :-)  Pleasant week to all.
