Winter Jr High Band Concert

Next week she will have her spring concert.....so you at least get to see these before those. Ha!








She is in the back in the middle, so you can never see her on the videos. Heck, we can barely get a glimpse of her when we are sitting there.

Mid- Winter 6th grade concert

You can't really see her very well, but she is in the back row towards the center. The light is shining down on her and with her blond hair and pale skin, she is just washed out.



People thought they were done, started to clap. Apparently, they were playing their first longer piece. So, continue with Part 2 to hear the rest of it. LOL!





We were sitting in the back row so we could actually see her. If we sat too far forward then we would never be able to watch her playing as there are 2 rows of kids in front of her.

6th Grade Band Holiday (School-Day) Concert

Technically, there wasn't a holiday concert for 6th grade band on the schedule. They had a fall concert and then will have a spring concert in May. I am not sure if 6th grade usually plays for the December (monthly) elementary school Celebration, but I am glad they did do one and that I could run up to school and watch/record it. 

After their concert was done they continued on with the School monthly celebration and she was the principal's assistant and got to hand out the awards to all the kids who were announced.

A few more still pictures I tried to get in between songs when he was announcing what was next. The elementary kids were all very excited when Mr. G announced they would be playing Jolly Old St. Nicholas. On Sunday, she will be playing Jingle Bells & Jolly Old St. Nicholas at a Senior Care Center. There are a handful of kids performing for the Sr. citizens there and then the club will be playing bingo and doing cookie decorating with the residents.

5th grade Spring Concert (Choir & Band)

Isabel is in the back of the band in a turqoise top. She is playing the French Horn. This is her first band concert and they actually sounded fairly decent and when you consider they have only been playing together for 2 months then they sound really good.

I only recorded the band stuff, you can view the whole concert on http://www.owatonnalive.com/Medford-School-Concerts.html

Band Started

For the last month since she found out that they would be starting be on soon she has been getting with excitement about getting her instrument and starting lessons. They now have started today and she had her first lesson. There isn't anyone else playing French horn so she gets one to use at home and then has another one to use at school so she doesn't have to transport it back and forth which she is very happy about it.
