Morgan’s 8th Grade Ensemble Concert

Oh no, this makes me so sad! This is Morgan’s last Orchestra Ensemble concert. This time she really isn’t changing her mind. She has decided not to continue her cello training. ugh! Despite my best efforts trying to convince her how extraordinary it is to be able to read music, proficiently play an instrument, and be musically inclined; she is on to bigger and better things I am sure. But I still say, studying music is very beneficial for your brain and I’m certain there is some scientific proof somewhere to back me up!

I adore this concert. The 7th and 8th grade orchestra students break up into small ensembles and perform one piece. It’s spectacular music and they are super brave to get up on that stage!

Even though Morgan was less than thrilled about wearing a tuxedo shirt and bow tie and I was less than thrilled that her group only played for a whopping 50 seconds; I still believe these young musicians are totally awesome!
