Concert time

Wednesday night was Harrold Middle School’s Christmas Band Concert.  Chrissy is part of the percussion section of the 7th and 8th grade band. 

My favorite song of the evening was ‘The Holly and the Ivy’, but my favorite performance was ‘The Polar Express’ – because our Chrissy had a Marimba solo!  We were so proud of her. 

As I sat and looked through the program, I noticed that Christina Burke was actually a Section Leader.  There she was, practically a celebrity, and I didn’t even know it!  I had missed the choral program the week before (second row from the bottom with the glasses), so I was doubly excited to attend the band concert.  And Chrissy even wore a dress, and declared that she even liked it.  She looked so grown up, confident and smiling. 

So I guess this means that Chrissy will join the marching band next year at the high school:  long practices, band festivals, and sub sales.  Get ready, Daddy – 4am comes really early!  And great job, Chrissy.  I love you and am proud of you!
