Rachel's was the first. She had a cello recital at 11am. As she was tuning up in preparation, "Oh NO!" her A string broke! Luckily her teacher had an extra one in her case, so they put it on and tuned her up. She played a duet with her teacher titled Perpetual Motion. She did a great job. It was fun to hear the different students at their different level of expertise!
(unfortunately I'm unable to get the picture off my camera- the doohickey that does that isn't working!)
Later that day we went to the Cedar Hill Crossing Mall and listened to Melissa play in a violin concert with Segue Violin Studios. 
It was in the food court area. Melissa played in every number- the duet part to all of them. It was a very nice concert also. After the teacher tuned everyone up, she started the concert- however the concert wasn't to start until 3:30 and it was only 3:15! This wasn't good for Brian was off picking up Jessica from Drum practice early so she could enjoy the concert too. I didn't want them to miss half the concert, so after the first number I motioned to my watch to the teacher. I mentioned that the concert wasn't to start to 3:30, right? She said but everyone is here- I said no! So they stopped, and waited 10 minutes to resume. Right as they were beginning again, Brian and Jessica walked in. PERFECT TIMING! 
At the conclusion of the concert, she asked if anyone wanted to hear anything else since they were all here. Another parent requested the first song again- since they were in the bookstore browsing, waiting for the concert to start. . . So anyway everyone got to hear the whole concert.
