Kenny's first concert

Last night we attened Kenny's first concert. Since he is a first year music student they only perform in one concert. Which Wow impressed me. They sounded great. Which yes by March they usually do. After hearing him start with plunking to scratchy practice to actually being able to play that Chello that he just had to play.

A couple of weeks ago he brought home a note saying that they could either wear the tradtional black dress pants and white dress shirt or since the concert was held on St. Patricks day they could wear dress pants and a green shirt. Ok no problem he has black dress pants and a green Tony Hawk polo shirt. He comes down yesturday morning and his black dress pants are too short. Jeeez we just got these for my grandfathers funeral in October. This kid needs to stop growing taller. He changed into tan pants I just went and got him new dress pants yesturday and found this green dress shirt I didn't think he would wear the tie but he loved that. We get to the school and could not believe how most of these kids were dressed. For the school in the district I would have been quite embarressed as a parent of most of these kids. Ripped jeans, tee-shirts and such. The chorus looked terrible. Maranda was in chorus at this school and they would have been in such trouble if they had worn what these kids wore.

Enough about that. Dave stood up towards the front so that he could video tape Kenny and during their last song someone stood right in frond of him to video tape also which we can hear them play but couldn't see Kenny. I wish I knew where the cord to put the video up of one of the songs because its so cute you can see him talking out the song to himself to remember it. He watched the video when we came home last night and said we sound great don't we.

I do wish I could have gotten a close up of him just to remember how much the color of the green shirt brought out his green eyes.

First of Kenny with his first love his first electric guitar (along with Maranda's laundry sitting next to him) He also has two acustic, three other electric guitars and a bass but this first electric is his favorite to this day)


A very blurry pic with his Chello before the concert, had a hard time getting close to get a good picture

Right after they played next to him is one of his good friends

Another picture after they were done. He did have dress shoes but those Tony Hawk's won out which they usually do this kid hes more comfortable in them.
