Apparently it was really hard to have someone else doing the bowing for you – Joe said he didn’t know the pieces when he wasn’t doing all the playing for himself! Still, it was fun
The bigger children made it look effortless, and it didn’t sound bad either.
Somehow they just ended up doing that while in the middle of the rehearsal for tomorrow’s concert!
Orchestra this morning: both Josiah and Abbie are now playing in the percussion section which they are really enjoying. Abigail decided she’d rather do that than be one of a hundred flutes, and likewise Joe thought he’d rather do that than play his violin. I don’t mind – the percussion section needed players! Abbie’s going to be having kit lessons from the orchestra drum tutor too and she’s really excited about that
This afternoon we’ve been kicking around at home; Anna’s had a friend over and the kids have all played Singstar, Guitar Hero, eaten lots of sweets, some pizza, and are now watching Bugsy Malone on video – mainly because it’s the show that Anna and her friend are doing at school.
Steve and I went out on a quick cache hunt when he got home from work, but that’s another story; it’s part of a long-winded multi cache so I’ll blog about it all when it’s finished!
