We had two sets of company this week, which was a lot of fun!

Mrs. Dowden and Corey

The Potter family

The Dowdens had to leave early this morning, but the rest of us went to the creek.

Mama, Mrs. Potter and Lauren

Leigh and Ariana

We had to walk through the last field before the creek so that the truck wouldn't get stuck in the mud.

Daddy and Mr. Potter

The Sound Of Music - It's Over!

Getting ready for performance #2

Sara and Stacie - the clarinet players

Kristee - oboe, Alana and Charles - trumpet Mrs. Gardner and Amanda - viola

The brass instruments were too loud, so we put rugs on the floor and hung towels over the stands to soften their sound!

Fran - baritone and Jonathan -tuba

Alan - guitar Some of the cast and stage crew backstage Dr. and Mrs. Pitts graciously invited everyone who had a part in the play (and their families!) to their home for a quick meal between the two Saturday performances.

Fran made a scrapbook of pictures for Mr. Gardner, our conductor

David asked Anna to paint percussion on the back of his shirt

This is what the sky looked like when we returned, though not a drop of rain fell! And there was a good crowd for the evening performance.

Exhausted after hours of practice and performances

Our conductor, Mr. Gardner, the hardest worker in the orchestra!

Ben - the piano playerThe percussion guys - Dr. Pitts and David
