Mabry Middle School Orchestra

Tonight was the first orchestra concert. It was held at the Mabry Middle School auditorium. Just like the chorus concert, it was standing room only. We were there 20 minutes early and managed to get seats. The sixth grade came out on stage first. Bailey, playing the viola, “earned” the second chair. I use the team loosely as apparently it was based upon how often they take their instruments home and how well they play in class.

And based upon what we hear at home we were expecting something like fingernails on chalkboard. I must admit that we have seen much improvement over the past couple of weeks when Bailey has taken the time to practice. Klare and I were pleasantly surprised at how well the orchestra sounded as a whole. A few misplace squeaks here and there but overall a very good performance.

So, without further ado….
