A Talented Week-End

Europe was busy singing this week-end and so were we! The Timmins Symphony Orchestra had their last concert of the season. The Timmins Chorus, along with three schools, were invited to sing three songs (one in French, one in English and one in German).

Julia and Kelden wanted to participate so they practiced at school and then at the church a few times. I bought a ticket to go see them. I was pretty close to the front but because they were behind the musicians, it was hard to see them. Let's see if you can spot them.

You are not allowed to film the performances but I was told that you can take pictures when they are done and people clap. The problem is that that's when the musicians stand up, hiding completely the kids.

I asked Kelden and Julia to sing the songs at home. It isn't the same without the music, obviously. Kelden was soprano and Julia was alto.

Zack was too young to participate but here are some of his talents. He is pretty good at playing bocce (the closest thing I could find to pétanque) and at reading at night, even when the lights are out.

No wonder he's been tired lately!
