Orchestra Concert

We went to Everett Philharmonic's family concert of the year this afternoon: "Music for the Imagination featuring Peter & the Wolf". It was a whirlwind tour from Spanish, Beethoven, Prokofiev's "Peter and the Wolf", to the contemporary Star Wars Medley and Stars and Stripes. The music selection and the performance quality were both great. Afterwards, the kids got to visit each selection of the orchestra!
Meet the percussion section...


The Strings

The wood winds

And the conductor!  
The conductor gave everyone a candy cane and a lesson on conducting 2,3,4 beats. Andy said that his favorite instruments were the big drums and his favorite part was the candy cane :-) .
