Molly had her spring orchestra concert, and did a great job. The evening included the beginning orchestra (Molly’s group), advanced orchestra (older kids), beginning band, and advanced band. This video is just the beginning orchestra, made up entirely of 3rd graders. It’s amazing how much these kids learned this year.

Great job, Molly and classmates.

Leah sang with her choir at church one last time for this school year. I was sadly unable to see it as I was getting ready to lead worship music at the next service, but Jen was nice enough to record it for me (and all of you as well).

We’ve lived in Columbia/Ellicott City for almost 13 years, and we’ve never been to a concert at Merriweather Post Pavilion. That all finally changed, as Jen and I went to see Pentatonix there.

The first opening act was AJ.

The second opening act was Us The Duo, who were a lot of fun.

And then it was time for the main attraction. Penatonix put on a great show. We really enjoyed it.

Molly performed a viola solo at the county Solo and Ensemble Festival. She did a fantastic job, and received high marks from the judge.

I wanted to record video of it, but didn’t want to distract her. So, I just set my camera on my lap pointed at her without calling attention to it. Molly was so focused, though, she probably wouldn’t have noticed if I was doing jumping jacks.

Great job, Molly!
