Onion Ring's Concert and Recital

Onion Ring recently had his end of the school year orchestra concert and fiddle recital. Now he is very glad they are over.




This piece was a scream! (Ha ha!) It was very unique.



































Enjoy!

A-Fiddling He Did Go

Onion Ring had a fiddle recital and an orchestra concert this past week, so here are his performances.










This band just recently came together and we all really enjoyed their music. I am told they are eager to play and they will play for food. So if anyone wants them to perform at a function, give me a call and I can hook you up!




I wasn't in a very good place to see Onion Ring, but you can see his hands a bit during this piece and his face at the very end.







This is the grand finale with all of the classes together (including his teacher on the far left). Unfortunately, I couldn't see Onion Ring at all.




Keep up the good work, Onion Ring!

The Piano Recital

Buttermilk Sky had his first piano recital yesterday. He has been working hard on these songs for a long time, so he was really glad to get this over with. He was not happy at all to have to dress up in his Sunday clothes (I forgot to prep him on that detail, resulting in a mini meltdown an hour before) and he was very nervous. But now that it's over, he said the whole experience wasn't as bad as he thought it would be. When asked if he would be willing to do a recital in the future, he said he would, as long as he got rewarded again. (His reward was to go out for ice cream afterward.) I think we can handle that.

Here he is with his teacher. She is working on her masters in piano at BYU and Evan began his lessons with her a little over two years ago. She has been great.

This was a solo recital so Buttermilk Sky was the star of the show, playing his entire repertoire.

Bravo Buttermilk Sky! What an excellent job!

This was our post recital party--lying down in the elevator and riding up and down a bunch of times.

The Violin Recital

Yesterday Onion Ring had his first violin recital.



We are proud of him!




The lady front and center is his teacher and she does a great job.




Now Brandon wants to take guitar lessons and start a family band.
