Proud Mom!

Last night was the Youth Honors Choral Program spring concert. This is my dd10's 3rd year in the program--1st year in the middle group. Her group sang 4 songs, and then the 3 choirs also sang 3 songs as a combined group. Each group has 30-50 members, so that's a pretty large group of 3rd-8th graders! All of the choirs sang really well. They had a nice mix of music, from introspective to folk/traditional songs, to gospel and "happy clappy" songs. My favorite song was the one that dd10 played her flute on. It was NOT an easy song to play--very slow and lots of long sustained notes--but she played it just wonderfully. I was so proud that she was able to learn it and play it well. It's not easy to get up there on the big stage in the big auditorium with the big hot lights shining on you! But next time it'll be easier ;-)
