Mari’s Band Concert

Mari is an awesome tuba player! Here is her first band concert from 2018, well, one song. The tubas actually get to play the melody for part of the song, which is cool

Two notes:

Mari really is good at tuba. She gets rave reviews from her teachers.
Hearing the kids play in their bands is awesome. For one of the first times in their life they are part of something big and impressive.

Mari’s Mime Show

For the past month or so Mari has been staying after school to work on a mime show. She worked with a group of kids on a few different mimes.

Now that the kids are back in school they are all back to their instruments: Andrew is playing the Cello, Mari the Tuba, and Elliot the Saxophone. It is fun to hear them practicing again and they are all doing well.

Tonight we had our first concert of the school year, for Andrew’s orchestra.

First Day of School

Today all of the kids started school. The three older kids are all going to school this year at the local public schools. Lucia and Rose are still at home and Lucia is having some introductory kindergarten lessons with Susan.

Mari leaves first in the morning at 7:20. Her school is too close for bus service, so we drive her.

Andrew leaves next at 7:45. He can walk to his bus stop which is just down the block.

Elliot’s bus comes at 8:30, also just down the block.

Rose isn’t in school yet, but she sure knows how to pose.

Drama Performances

The kids had their drama performances this week. I had some technical difficulties during the recording. Someone called during Elliot’s and I had to leave during Andrew’s because Rose was ready to explore.
