Today was the District 204 Solo and Ensemble Festival.  Sarah and Brittany participated in it (Kirstyn’s is later) and they did a great job.  We are so proud of them.  There were no rankings given out, however.  The normal area Solo and Ensemble Festival that they have yearly was canceled because they couldn’t find a school in the area to host it.  🙁  Since I was at work, Angela got to go to see their performances.

Tonight, I took Sarah and Brittany to the Solo and Ensemble Honors Concert.  This is a performance by a selection of the top musicians in the district.  All we could say was WOW!  Some of the performances just blew us away!  The ones that were especially impressive were the clarinet player, a couple of the strings ensembles.  We sure have a huge amount of talent in this district.  I guess that’s why one of our district’s high schools receives a Grammy every year.  🙂

In addition to that, the laundry room is finished!

The kids really love their lockers and couldn’t wait to get their stuff in them (Angela and I couldn’t either)!  🙂  Our laundry room looks SOOOO much better now!
