A couple of weeks ago my dear grand-daughters had the opportunity to participate in a spectacular performance presented by their school orchestra. One plays the violin and the other the viola. My pictures are not that good as I still have not caught the knack of using my new camera, but I try and I am learning more all of the time! This is Kt. She is a long ways off and my camera just could not do her justice! This Mimi just to the left of the conductor’s left shoulder and KT just to the right of his right shoulder. This photo was taken at a zoom 10x. I am sure that I moved the camera.
Kt
This is their proud mama!
These are their proud papa and grandpa! If you look close you can see me taking the picture! no! I really enjoyed the whole performance. It was a fun evening.
These two girls each started their career with musical instruments when they were in the 4th grade, having to get up earlier then their classmates; catch a school bus near their house which took them to the middle school for the music lessons, attended their class before school started and then rode another bus back to their elementary school. Now I call that dedication!!! Both of these girls have voices that would get them into any choir, but they chose the instrument! I love to hear them play and sing, but they won’t do either very often without the group behind them. Darn them anyway. See more about them at Sue’s Blog.
Hey, I’m so proud of you…you got the pictures off the camera and on to the blog!!
The girls actually started when they they were in 4th grade. 🙂

The girls look so intent on not missing a beat! Much to be proud of! Glad you shared your pictures with us…next thing you know we will have sound to go with them!
Hey I think you forgot to mention that she Mimi was inspired to play the Viola because her wonderful uncle played the viola.
