Last week, we attended our daughter’s very first group band performance! The Winter Concert featured her fifth grade chorus and band members. They played several short sets — and sounded really good for only having a few practice sessions under their belts! They finished up the hour long event with some wonderful holiday songs. “There’s No School Tomorrow” was a crowd favorite :).
Mom and Lee joined us and I think they had a nice time. I was snapping this sweet picture of them when my friend snuck up behind me and waved her hand in front of my camera — bad! {who then almost had karma bite her in the butt when she almost fell of the bleachers trying to get a picture of her daughter by the decorated tree — yep I saw that! lol}! I think the picture still turned out well though!
Happy Wordless Wednesday everyone! I’ll visit everyone who comments :)

My son would love to join band in fifth, but they don’t have it here.
Your daughter looks great! They don’t have band here until grade 9, but my son joined then and it was great. He went on a band trip to the Bahamas, and it lead him to join a local choir after high school, where he got to tour Europe. The arts provide great opportunities!
Wow! Those are amazing opps and I imagine he has made some wonderful memories! I am hoping that my daughter sticks with it throughout school and beyond!
WOW. Yeah, we don’t really have any arts programs in South Florida, unless you get into a special Magnet school. Your son was so lucky!
Great picture! Impressive she is in focus so well. Sounds like a fun event.:)
Haha! Beth, that would be the talent of photo editing — not the photographer ;)
The winter band concerts were always my favorites! I know you must have been so proud!
Hahaha. Yay Karma!
Holiday concerts are fun!
Brings back memories!!! I played the flute n band up through 9th grade, and I loved the holiday concerts the best the audience was always full of energy :)
We recently attended my son’s first band concert. I was amazed at how well they performed.

Gotta love Karma. Elementary bands are so much fun – they are so proud of every note.
Your kids are so talented!
Looks like a ton of fun! I remember band and choir concerts!
That’s a fantastic photo, I love the way everything is soft and unfocused except for your daughter!
This makes me miss my choir days and when we had our concerts! So fun!
I love that Pie is the only person that’s in focus! Great job!
I love the photo! I bet you’re so proud!
You must be so proud!
Awww, Christmas concerts, so much fun! Yay for the flute, I was a clarinet gal myself ;)
She looks great up there! I loved playing in the band around Christmas and I can’t wait until my kids are old enough!
That first shot is great. I know you are proud!
My son cannot wait to join the band!
Karma gets us all at one time or another! :) Great pics of your daughter and the band!
