Andrew played 1st cello in Viewmont’s Symphonic chorus. It’s the Orchestra, band and Choir kids all performing together. It was really beautiful. These kids are so good and the music they are singing and playing is really difficult. They were preparing for state and to head to St. George for the Music teacher’s conference. At the end, the choir teachers said, “If these were athletes heading to state we would cheer them on… so I would like the audience to form a tunnel that the students will come off the stage and go up the aisle and out into the lobby. And I want you to cheer them on.”
The audience all moved as directed and we cheered and hollered for these kids for 15 minutes by the time they all funneled off the stage. I had tears coming down my cheeks. It was really sweet. These students are performing at the top of their craft and deserve to be celebrated. I’m so proud of Andrew for playing his cello and being involved in this… Then they went home on Wednesday night and packed their bags to head to St. George for the conference, Zions National Park and a backstage tour of Tuacahn. Oh fun!
