Concerts

 Last week, my son had his first live strings orchestra recital since 2019. Last week, I went to a concert for the first time in more than 2 years! 

It was amazing.

The kids did great. It was so special to be able to sit in the auditorium and listen to the music!

I didn't realize how much I missed this... The excitement, the buzz, the squishy chairs, the clapping, the feeling of being in the moment. 

Our son also participates in a young musician orchestra in our county - they decided to not do live concert and had a recording instead that is available on youtube. And I love it - the selection of music, the quality, the fact that I can send the link to all the family and friends. But, sitting at home, watching the performance on the computer... it just wasn't quite the same.

I hope there will be more live recitals. I hope we will be able to go to more live concerts.

Sometimes you don't realize you miss things until you are doing them again.
