The kids have been enjoying another great orchestra season. They actually enjoy playing their second violin parts together...and hopefully matching notes and rhythm. They love a piece called Choreography, and I feel a thrill listening to them practice the Vivaldi Summer...even though it is only one part .....it sounds great.
Here is a promotional video that I made with Windows Movie Maker, to serve as an appetizer of sorts for Concert Announcement emails.
The kids have really grown musically this year. Cindy Petty (orchestra director), is astonishing to watch in action. Another orchestra mom and I were flabbergasted to watch Cindy bring St. Paul's Suite from nowheresville to almost performance level within an hour and a half. The kids were happy and inspired and mostly engaged through the whole process!! (I would like an IV filled with what Cindy's got)
This trailer is so amazing! Great job, Russelle. I'm so impressed with the orchestra. Wish we were near so we could enjoy in person. Keep up the good work everyone.
