Thought for the Day/Week

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY/WEEK:

"In my view, the Christian religion is most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government ought to be instructed...No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people."

~Noah Webster- preface to 1828 Dictionary~

SAMUEL'S FINAL ORCHESTRA CONCERT

Friday night before the concert, the kids rehearsed their program on the stage in the Century II Concert Hall. (Sarah is on the left)

This is a short clip of the Brandenburg Concerto by Mozart at the rehearsal.

Sarah- playing in the Chamber Orchestra
During the Youth Symphony portion of the concert, the organization, sponsored by the Wichita Symphony Society,memorial funds and vendors, sponsored and handed out several scholarships. Samuel was surprised and honored to be the recipient of a string scholarship donated by Senseny Music. Hannah, after the concert visiting with friends.
"Our Kids" after the concert... (ok, so Amanda isn't TECHNICALLY our kid, but close!)
At least Daniel thinks so. Sarah with a few of her friends after the concert. Congratulations on another Season of Youth Symphony. Samuel, you will be missed!

If you are interested in hearing some of the music from the concert, the Flora family recorded the concert and put it on youtube. Here are the links if you'd like to hear them.

This is the link to the "Brandenburg Concerto" performed by Sarah's Chamber Orchestra. Sarah is the 2nd girl in on the front row.
