Tonight is rehearsals for the All-City Orchestra. I had to leave Payton at Landstown High School (picture on the left), which is easily 5 or 6 times larger than the High School Gregg & I attended. I had to leave her there without anyone she knows among thousands of students from all over the Hampton Roads area (her violin teacher was there). She is quite excited about the whole thing, and really looks forward to getting dressed up. She has put a lot of work into this performance and has really gotten good at the pieces they plan on playing for the audience. I snapped a few photos with my cell phone prior to leaving, but only this one turned out.
She is in the blue hoodie, in the center of the photo, getting out her music stand. We get to go pick her up later tonight and she has another rehearsal tomorrow morning and a concert tomorrow afternoon. We are all very excited to attend the concert and I will be sure to get some better photos then and a video or two to share. Just seeing this photo again makes me sad. I cannot wait until she home again later tonight safe and sound.
Hang in there...she is loving it!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful!! I remember when Jayce played the violin. He was in 5th grade as well and had a few concerts.. Awh, the memories!
ReplyDeleteWish Payton the best of luck for us!
