Hannah had Orchestra Camp this week. It is always really fun. This is the week they really get to have fun with the music they are playing. Not to mention the movie and the swimming party and the really cool t-shirt they get. This year they were able to play a song called The Dory Anne. It is composed by a man named Robert Frost. Not the poet. He has taught music here in Utah and has written a number of pieces for orchestras. He has also written a few method books. Lets just say this guy is really cool to Orchestra dorks like Hannah. So Robert Frost was able to come out and work with the kids and then conduct that same piece at the concert. Hannah worked really hard all week. It was a great experience. Thanks to Rachel Wheeler who keeps this program going and keeps the kids excited about playing. Next up, Youth Symphony!

You know I think that is the coolest! I'm so glad she has those opportunities there. Orchestra didn't even exist when I was going to school there. I probably could have gone much further with it if it had. I'm so glad for you Hannah! Hope you realize what an awesome thing that is!
That is so great Hannah. Don't ever quit practicing. It is such a great opportunity.
