I had the extreme privilege tonight of joining Kaitlin Gough at her 3rd grade recorder concert. Kaitlin recently earned a "black belt" in her music class, attaining the highest level possible - only a handful of students in the 3rd grade have achieved this.
Tonight, all of the 3rd grade classes assembled to entertain and delight the parents and friends who gathered. Once the kids entered the cafeteria, there were so many flashes going off, you would have thought that it was the red carpet on Oscar night. Kaitlin gave a shy grin to her family assembled proudly in the front row, and the concert began.
It was short, but sweet. :) The excitement in the cafeteria was contagious, and the students did a wonderful job! I remember very well learning how to play a recorder, and getting so excited when a song would come together.
Kaitlin played through all of her songs with poise! She was so calm and confident. She did a fabulous job. I am so proud of her!Katelynn and Emily were able to meet Kaitlin's teacher and have announced "He's funny!" Beth was able to sit next to Big Brother Alec (he even let her cuddle with him). Hailey behaved very politely, even taking a few pictures of her "Nani" when Mom wasn't looking.
All in all, it was a pretty good night.

The concert sounds like great fun. It looks like all of your girls have mastered the camera. Hooray for Hailey! She only takes pix of the most important things.
