Concerting we go

Yesterday during the day we got more paint touched up and finished the upstairs hall. In the evening we accompanied Kim to Eastern Michigan University to a concert. Eastern was selected to present choral and symphonic band works at the Michigan Music Educators conference in Grand Rapids this week and last night was a dress rehersal, so we went and particularly enjoyed Kim's playing. She had been selected as the faculty guest artist for one of the symphonic band numbers. It was great fun watching and listening, especially since we have been hearing parts of the piece as she practiced for the last several weeks at home. She did an excellent job and received an ovation at the end of the piece. I could not help but be the proud papa and grin throughout. We have also met the conductor Mary, who did a superb job as well. Eastern will represent their university music department very well at the conference. Happy travels.
