Spring Concerts

Caleb has really enjoyed playing the cello in middle school.  He really likes Mr. Sokolik.  He was even  chosen to be a part of the symphonic orchestra that travels around to different elementary schools to play concerts and get the elementary kids excited about middle school band.

Miriam's concert.   Was supposed to be Jonas' as well but he was gone.

Mr Sears is AMAZING!!  Besides the fact that it takes someone special and dedicated to be able to be a beginning orchestra teacher, he really knows how to handle the kids and encourage them to progress and enjoy music and their instrument.  Sorry I don't have a picture of his face.  Krisitina took these pictures.

This was supposed to be Jonas' concert as well, but he was already in Utah at "Cousin Camp."

Not really a concert but fun nevertheless.   Vanessa Oblad used to live in our ward.  She has spent the last couple of years building up a career in singing (she is AMAZING).  She came to concert here with Marvin Goldstein.  The local (incidentally in our ward) play director arranged  for this group of kids to sing and perform with Vanessa (she goes by Vanessa Joy).  Caleb, Miriam and Anastasia were able to do this.

I know you can't actually see any of our kids but they are there.
