All State

Over the weekend, both girls participated in the All State Band Concert.  They have been meeting to practice every Friday night in March (and Elizabeth, every Saturday morning as well).  Emily was a member of the Gala Band and Elizabeth was a member of the Concert Band.  The concert was excellent and I was again amazed at how good these kids are.

Elizabeth was selected by audition for the Concert Band - two auditions, one for each instrument.  She has really worked hard this year!

You can just barely see Emily in this photo, between the two flute players (her hair is in a bun).

Elizabeth was second chair flute - she had the same audition score as the first chair, but the tie breaker went to the other girl because she is in 8th grade (which Elizabeth thought was very fair).
