Piano Recital 08

Nathan had his first Piano Recital last night and Andrew chalked up his 5th recital. They both did EXCELLENT work! I have videos below, but the church was so dark that it's hard to see. You can hear the boys playing, though. Just turn off the music at the bottom of this webpage first.

The recital is always a fun evening, but it gets long. By the time everyone played and awards were handed out, it was 9:30. Then cookies and a drive home so the boys didn't get to bed until 10:30. Thank God, the neighbor girl across the street was available last minute to watch Rebekah. She stayed home, played and got to bed at a normal time.

The boys and their teacher.

Andrew got a medal for participating in the State Music Festival. He also received two certificates of achievement. One was for a Superior Rating at State and one was for a high score on the State Theory Test (he got a 95%).

Here are Nathan's two pieces. First is Trumpet Song and second is Frosty the Snowman.

Here are Andrew's two pieces. He played Ceremony for Peace and Joy to the World. He was a little upset with himself that he made a mistake in Joy to the World. Afterwards, Sean figured out that it was past his bedtime by the time he played that song. Poor kid was tired!
