Spring is creeping closer. Days are getting longer and warmer. No flowers yet, but I\u2019m thinking of taking the Mustang out already! Lots of music events happening these days with the kids. Lots of running around.<\/p>\n
Lizzy just finished with her school play yesterday. They did a production of Rogers and Hammerstein\u2019s Cinderella. It was very well done. Lizzy was in the chorus and had one line (she did great!). The fact that she\u2019s new at the school notwithstanding I was a bit surprised she didn\u2019t get a bigger part, being and experienced singer and all. But it turns out there\u2019s alot of talent at that school. All the leads were superb, as was the orchestra. I guess it\u2019s a high school after all, and I\u2019m more used to the K-8 or K-12 performances. They did four shows in four days and it was a huge amount of work and she had a great time, and a bonding experience for the kids. But on to the next thing.<\/p>\n
This coming weekend is honor band. Both Lizzy and Michelle are in it. Michelle still plays clarinet regularly in her school band, but Lizzy is dusting off her flute for the first time in a while. Still, they\u2019re both very excited as always.<\/p>\n
Then the week after that is the musical at Michelle\u2019s school. The eight graders are the big kids in this production, and this year they have some good talent too. I\u2019ll be playing in the orchestra for this one, and so last week I got a couple CD\u2019s and a big packet of sheet music. I\u2019ve listened thru a couple times and read thru it once, so I\u2019m set for joining them in rehearsal next week. I\u2019m doing ukulele on one song, We\u2019re All Made of Stars. Michelle learned the uke part too, so she\u2019s gonna do it on stage while I double her from the pit. So we\u2019re practicing that song together every day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
