First Concert of the Year

 Austin and Kade are now in the same orchestra class at the high school. It's the concert orchestra, though Austin has his eyes on the symphony and might try out for next year. Even still, I think the concert orchestra performed better than they have in 3 or 4 years at this first concert for this school year. It was a combined concert with the choir who I also thought was better than they have been for a few years. I made the connection that a few years ago was before the covid pandemic and it has taken this long for all the kids to start reaching their potential in these areas. The concert orchestra finally had a comparable size to the symphony and enough violinists to balance out the seating arrangements. Jason and I enjoyed watching Kade and Austin share their musical talents with this group of musicians.
