Musical Minions

Our month has been full of music.  The girls were busy preparing for the big piano ensemble at Centenial Hall.  It's a favorite of mine.  It's just so cool to be on that stage, in front of thousands of people, playing on a huge grand piano with a conductor.  I get a bit jealous.

 Of course, they both did amazing.  Unfortunately, they sat at a piano in the back for their song together. I just got a photo of the bows.

 Emma played a second song, in which she sat at 1st piano.  

I also got to chaperone Sydney's band trip to Flagstaff.  It was fun to see her do her thing.  She even won a solo award for one of her many solos.  Go Sydney!

Sydney is right in the middle.

 I mostly hung out with these lovely ladies.  It was nice to have some great friends there too.

Sometimes, when Sydney wasn't with her friends, she'd pose for a photo with me.

Or, we'd eat wayyy too much at the college all-you-can-eat cafeteria

After seeing all the food, she said, "Whoa!  I'm gonna love college!"  Then we had a little discussion about the Freshman 15.

After the festival at NAU, we had some snow fun.

I am so grateful that my kids have had good experiences with music.  It was a big deal for me growing up and I hope they appreciate it too.
