Getting Cultural

While JD was at camp, LilE and I headed to a local university for the last concert of their Lakeside Concert Series. I have a friend who plays in the orchestra who told us all about it.


We packed up (or picked up) dinner and ate by the lake and then, due to heat and possible rain, headed to the auditorium for the music. They played some Big Band music as well as an arrangement from the Wizard of Oz.


We had a great night watching our friend and enjoying the music in the air conditioning. It was also an opportunity for me to tell LilE all about my concert band days. She thought it was amazing that JD and I used to play in an orchestra like this one.

Wow. Hard to believe that was nearly 15 years ago!

Yes, Klee played the flute very well. We have her $1000 flute at our house if anyone wants to encourage her to play again. (Sorry, the "mother" in me is coming out!!)
