Daddy's Band Christmas Concert

The stage was decorated beautifully, although, it is quite dark in this picture so it is hard to see.

You can't tell it by these pictures, but the 24 hours prior to this were very rough for Mommy and Daddy. We were hit by food poisoning on Tuesday, and felt awful all evening Tuesday. Poor Cara just didn't know what to do, but at least she did not get it! Luckily by Wednesday we were both on the mend, slowly but surely. Poor Scott would have loved to take Wednesday off to recover, but as they say "the show must go on".

But the concert was fabulous! His music selections were superb with our favorites being the Santa at the Symphony and Stille Nacht. Cara was a delight to all those in the audience around us. She kept saying "Dad" and pointing to the stage. She clapped when everyone else clapped (which is new for her, she used to cry when people clapped), and she loudly would say "uh oh" between selections. Even her Daddy found that quite amusing because he could hear it onstage. At one point she was standing in the aisle way waving her hands "conducting" along with Daddy. Those sitting near us got quite a kick out of her behavior!

The busy concert season continues today with a performance by the Jazz Orchestra at the Artsgarden at Circle Centre mall this afternoon. A Blue Christmas Jazz concert is Sunday at the school. Busy, busy, busy! At this rate Christmas will be here before we know it!
