Millie is really enjoying orchestra class this year. Their first concert was back in September and it was a huge performance combining grades 5-12. The 5th graders only had a very minor part. The theme was Orchestra Rocks and they were encouraged to dress up like KISS or The Village People because they were playing songs from those bands as well as Kansas, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin.
She was enjoying it so much (and complained that it was too easy) that she asked to try out for the Floyd County Youth Symphony. I really didn't want to because we are so busy but considering I am a music teacher, I didn't feel quite right about that so off we went. She made it and there is only 1 other 5th grader in the group. She is really working hard and improving lots, I can't wait for their first concert in December.
