We are so thankful for R's dedication to her violin music. She was handsomely rewarded for those efforts when she auditioned for a coveted spot in the Regional Orchestra and was selected to play 3rd chair, 2nd violin. She attended an intense clinic at Baylor University with all the selected students in December and that afternoon treated us all to an outstanding performance. We were truly blown away by how beautifully the kids played. The students were also blessed to have some wonderful teachers and conductors.
A special thank you goes to Granny, who found the perfect black skirt and jewelry for R to wear, and who also stayed nearby and handy with R during that long day of rehearsals. And we appreciate all the family members who were able to come see the performance ~ it meant so much to R to have your support.
This orchestra is all middle school students, if you can believe it! R is in the center with french braids in her hair. This piece is Brandenburg Concerto No. 3, 1st Movement. Enjoy!

Do you think grandparents can ever be too proud? R- it gave us chill bumps to hear your beautiful music again and to see how grown up you are. We are so proud of you. Love, Granny and Grandpa
I got a little misty-eyed at your concert. I'm so glad we got it on tape, so we can listen to it anytime we want. You sounded so awesome! You're a great musician, and I love you sweetie!
Love,
Dad
