Winter Orchestra Concert

 The Youth Symphony had their Holiday Magic concert last night.  It was a wonderful night of Christmas music.  We arrived early and got a good seat.  Here is Bode relaxing before the start.

After some quick introductions, the symphony played their first piece called A Festive Fanfare.   I apologize for the focus on this first video--damn camera from circa 2006.

The next piece was entitled There's Christmas in the Air.  The focus on this is much better and has a jazzy flavor.

Between pieces, Aaron (the conductor) recognized some of the musicians in the orchestra.  You can tell how thrilled Bode is when he stands up :-)

The final prepared piece the orchestra played was A Christmas Festival. 

They even did an encore--they did part of the 1812 Overture.

After the concert, we took some pictures.

We are very proud of how hard Bode works at his violin.  We are looking forward to the spring already :-)  Pleasant week to all.
