The kids both performed on their cellos for orchestra class this month. Please enjoy some videos!

Sam’s middle school music program is overflowing! I had a hard time seeing him in the back. After the first song I got up to film standing in the back of the auditorium. My new phone has a x5 telephoto lens zoom and I put it through its paces trying to get good shots of Sam.

Sam had a “solo” moment in this song!
We were encouraged to demand an encore, to hear them play the fast version!

Jack plays in the “Strings” orchestra at high school and he’s first chair for cello! I’m a big fan of Mr. V so far. He’s calm, organized, and efficient. He got through four separate orchestra groups in less than one hour! Jack was chosen to give the introduction speech for their second song. He says this is first time public speaking to an audience this size. He did wonderfully!
