Tonight was Marina's sixth grade orchestra concert. It was the "Auburn School District Orchestra Festival 2009" celebrating "Music of Many Cultures". This is Marina's second year of orchestra; the program starts in fifth grade in Auburn. The concert was held at Mountainview High School. We got to hear the fifth graders, sixth graders, combined seventh & eighth graders and the high school as well as the Harp Ensemble. The concert was wonderful and we were impressed with how much the sixth graders have learned in two short years of orchestra. Seems just yesterday they were struggling through "Row, Row, Row Your Boat". I recorded one of their songs, Menuetto from the "Royal Fireworks" by G.F. Handel. I again apologize that my camera is not working right so the video quality isn't good but at least you can hear them play. Marina plays cello and, while you won't likely be able to pick her out on the video as her back was to the camera, she is just to the left of the conductor.
Marina was very happy that she got to share a music stand with her great friend Sydney. Here is a picture where I pointed them out so you can see where they were. Marina is in a black top & Sydney is in (what else?!!) a pink top.
Thanks for sharing the video of the concert. I do believe that if you listen carefully, you can hear Marina! (at least Mircea could! grin)
