Our family loves music.
After all, my parents met at a music competition. So I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for their love of music.
Boy am I waaaaaay behind in blogging. It has been an incredibly busy week! All my time was pretty much taken up with mostly work and family. No time for blogging. I knew that I had fallen behind when within two days, two of my work buds mentioned my blogs had disappeared lately. (its nice to know someone actually read these things! 
) So now I am catching up…
On Saturday Megan had her last performance (in the U.S.) with the Sacramento Youth Symphony Premiere Orchestra.
Yesterday (Sunday) I attended the Sacramento Youth Symphony Mega Concert. It was called the Mega Concert because it featured every single orchestra and ensemble from the SYS.

As I mentioned in a previous post, my volunteer job for the Sacramento Youth Symphony is to take pictures. All parents are required to volunteer. I used to volunteer in the lobby last year, but this year I found out they wanted pictures so I was totally delighted to take photos!
My friend Keith asked me to look at some horn arrangements. They were a bit different than the recording so I sat down at the piano and transcribed the parts. It ended up looking something like this:
My daughter is part of the Sacramento Youth Symphony, and all parents are required to volunteer 10 hours or you pay a fee. Unfortunately, I thought my husband was going to sign us up to volunteer and he thought I was going to sign us up, so between the two of us, neither of us signed up!
Today the Sacramento Youth Symphony Premier Orchestra performed at the Sacramento Library. I had never been there before… imagined a small, stuffy room. Boy, was I wrong! It’s actually a super huge hall attached to the book part of the library. I didn’t bring my camera (we were rushing to get out the door) so all the pictures below were taken from my iPhone… so they were a little crooked and lighting was not too great. But it gives a general idea!
