Orchestra Concert

Courtney had her end-of-the year orchestra concert.  It was a crazy night because she also had a practice for dance.  Bryan picked her up early from practice and got her to the school in time for her to warm up and get ready to play.

Here she is before the concert began:

Here are some songs they played.

The Star Spangled Banner:

Russian Rondo:

Sword Dance:

Celtic Dance:

They played some more songs but I couldn't get them to upload to youtube but they were fantastic!

After their concert they had a quick pizza party with their teacher.  The next day she sadly told them that she was offered another teaching job at Dixie State University teaching orchestra teachers how to teach.  So this will be her one and only year teaching them.  Courtney was devastated but was happy that she had been able to learn from Mrs. Crosby.  We are hoping they find someone else to take over the program so we don't lose out next year on the great experience.

Courtney has loved playing the violin and has done so well.  She absolutely loves it!
