This concert ended at 9:30pm - then the students in the Winter Percussion group ran to change outfits and haul thier instruments and equiptment to the gym to join the color guard and dance teams for a performance there.
The Winter Percussion performed The Way Up. Instead of sitting up high in the bleachers, I sat low this time for a change by the pit so that I could watch Jessica. It was quite a different show from this angle. You could see all the expressions on their faces. I watched Jessica run from one instrument to the other. Not a good place to watch the marching drummers becuase you couldn't see the formations.
Saturday, March 21, 2009 Rachel had her Cello Recital. She played The William Tell Overture, and Simple Gifts and did a wonderful job!After the recital we had lunch at New York, New York. Rachel loves pasta, and each Tuesday as we are going to her lessons we pass this restaurant. Tuesdays are all you can eat spaghetti, and she begs to go there. So we did after the recital. It was a nice afternoon with the family. We were lucky to have Jessica and Kevin with us- they were scheduled to be in drum line rehearsal all day, but there was a mix up and the school was locked- so they got to come. It was a nice leisurely afternoon with the family. Sooooo leisurely that they gave us two free pieces of Cheesecake, for making us wait. The food was good!
