UP... with Cole

Cole's final orchestra concert this year was amazing!  It truly was a night of cultural uplifting entertainment for a fantastic value of $5.00 per person.  It was a high quality concert and we all truly enjoyed it.  The favorite was the final number, a medley of songs from the Disney/Pixar movie "UP".  They took a 15 minute or so intermission with the curtain closed.  When it opened there were balloons tied to the chairs.  Then the best surprise... the teacher/conductor had changed out of his tuxedo into a fantastic costume of Russell.  It was too funny.  We were all humming the songs from UP the rest of the night!  They concert was all concertos (except the UP piece).  I didn't even know what that was, I am embarrassed to say. It's a piece written in three movements where one solo instrument is accompanied by the orchestra.  So there were violin, trombone, cello and piano concertos.  The kids who performed the solos were AMAZING.  I am so glad there is talent like that to share with the rest of us.
