Pops Concert

It has been a little light on blogging today. That's a combination of a couple of things including a rather slow news day and the fact that, believe it or not, I actually do have other things to do. Today my family and I went to a really fun pops concert put on by the local philharmonic orchestra. I have never been to one like this before.

The show combined the full orchestra plus a very large cast of singers and dancers. And the staging was not static. The singers and dancers moved around the stage, through the orchestra itself and out into the audience. It was a truly bravura performance. My youngest boy really enjoyed himself and my youngest girl expressed an interest in joining the junior philharmonic after seeing the show. She's the family bass player. I'm not sure if I've mentioned that before. But she already plays in several local orchestras and community bands - she really is that good.

It was a really good day for the family, we went out to dinner afterward at the kid's favorite place to eat - which is (thankfully) not McDonald's. The regular madness will resume at any moment around here, don't worry.
