Hometown Christmas

I'm going to see if it works to upload a video this way. You all will have to let me know via the comments section if you can successfully view this!

Rachel did an AMAZING job today in her performance at Hometown Christmas! She played the piano beautifully. For those of you who are Trans Siberian Orchestra fans, she played one of MY favorites... "First Snow"

and then she played another of my favorites, "Mary Did You Know"

I hope you enjoy!

Marching Band Videos

For those of you who are interested, here are the videos from the Marching Band contest. There are two of them, ‘cause I had to split the one long video in half since you tube will only allow 10 minute or less videos.

In the first song of the second video, Rachel and Cameron are the first two people in the quartet. They did GREAT!

The first two songs…

and the second two…

What do you get

when a bunch of high school boys (and a girl) get together on a no-school day in mid-September with a roll of plastic, a water hose and some dish soap?

Rachel Taps

Well, it was new to me, too, but it sounded AWESOME! Rachel's band director selected her to play taps at the MS's Veteran's Day program last week. I had a LOVELY view of her...all ready to record it...and then the Vets stood up, LOL. Oh, well...the sound is still great!

Rachel's Band Solo

I'm not sure how proud I can be of Caleb's accomplishments in my last post, but I AM certainly proud of Rachel tonight! She performed "Scotish Air" for her band solo judging! She did an AWESOME job, don't you think?

Should a Mother be Proud of THIS achievement???

 

 

I don't know...you tell ME?  Sigh...the joys of having teen boys :-)
