Recital!!!!

The place where the kids take music at moved into a new location and decided to have a recital right before Christmas.  It was short notice and we were surprised that they both said, "YES!"  The last recital ended with Terefech, literally.  It was a couple of hours long, outside in 87 degree heat and she was second to last.  This time they were number 1 and 4.  Whew!

 They both did wonderful and were cool performers.  Terefech played "Jolly Old St. Nicholas."  Declan played "Take Five" by Dave Brubeck.  Although it wasn't very Christmasy, Dave Brubeck had died the week before and it was a perfect homage.  Declan was up there for over five minutes playing!

 Here are their instructors who we love.  Charles and Terefech get along marvelously.  The kids are lucky enough to have him as their music teacher at school as well!  Declan and Kevin are perfectly matched in their laid back style.  We feel so lucky to have adults our kids connect with, see how important a love of music is and share that with our kids.

 Our neighbor Mary came along to watch the kids play.  They thought it was pretty cool to have an audience!  A little alien game afterward was just the relaxation they all needed!
