On Thursday, 4/28/11, Ben Connelly, our intrepid 8th grader, invited us to attend The Granite Junior Youth Symphony "Spring Concert". The orchestra filled the stage.
Ben was seated at the back of the orchestra (where they seat the best players, I understand). This was the best photo of Ben we could get without a crane. He is second from the right.
Gramma, Ben's Dad and our musician after the concert.
The orchestra played several pieces that we enjoyed including "Grand March from Aida," "Procession of the Sardar". "Sleepers Awake" by JS Bach, and of course "William Tell Overture"
We are very proud of Ben and his mastery of the violin. In the 8th grade Papa's not sure he could even spell "violin"
Thanks to Ben for thoughtfully inviting us to the concert of this select orchestra.
