I happened to stumble onto a webpage for science that led to another page, which led me to the NYSymphony and then onto the San Antonio symphony where I discovered that there would be a student concert in about a week~
I was ecstatic. A real concert, the boy's first real orchestral experience and the cost was a mere $4!
At first, they were less than excited to sit for, what they thought would be hours...it lasted a total of one hour.
The event was for students, so that meant the auditorium would be filled with loud children. It was.
But behind us sat the 'homeschoolers'...six children, accompanied by only a mom and each one sat quietly, including the two yr. old...then there was the mom with two girls, approximately five and six, and the 'under one yr. old' on her lap, sitting at the other end of our row. Mom left part way through and left the two girls sitting by themselves...quietly paying attention.
The orchestra was overwhelming for all of us. I couldn't decide which I enjoyed more: the concert or just watching them enjoy it!
Before we left, I sat us down for a few pix: I had no idea they were pretending to be asleep...boys!
All in all, it was a great day and they truly enjoyed themselves...now on to a real symphony!
Who'd of thought?
