Rachelle before her IMEA All State audition
Thursday morning |
 |
After rehearsing Thursday evening, all day Friday, and a short time Saturday morning,
it was concert time. Here she is waiting for Curt to join us. He was parking the van.
It's almost time for the All State concert. |
 |
"OK, Mom, if I have to pose..." |
 |
This was at the All State concert which was before Rachelle's honors concert.
Sometimes I have to be tricky to get pictures of my daughters. :) |
 |
Curt and me enjoying every moment! |
The All State concert began at 1:00 PM,
then the Honors concert began a little after 3:00.
 |
Here comes our girl... |
 |
Finding her chair... |
 |
Almost there... |
 |
Setting up her stand...
She enjoyed chit-chatting with her stand partner.
He was a pleasant young man from Chicago and a member of the Chicago Symphony Youth Orchestra.
He wasn't quite sure what to think of her, being an accomplished violinist from "Southern IL..."
He hesitantly asked, "Do you live on a farm?"
She found that very funny. |
 |
Enjoying beautiful music!
They played the Finale of Tchaikovsky's Fifth
and a piece called Danzon #2 by Marquez, a fun Latin American piece. |
 |
Honors Orchestra, Choir, and Band did an arrangement of "America" all together.
It was thrilling to hear... but kind of bittersweet to me given the state of our country. |
 |
Thanking the conductor... |
This post helps me preserve wonderful memories of our last All State IMEA!
Happy Wednesday!
