RMHS Cake And Concert

Hailey has decided to continue playing in Orchestra while she attends High School in the fall. She has been in the school Orchestra since sixth grade and she is talented at playing her violin!

She recently had an opportunity to attend a fundraiser for the Rocky Mountain High School Orchestra. I think it was a good opportunity for her to see how the orchestra is in the High School setting.
They had a really great idea of having a "Cake & Concert" where you could go and listen to the orchestra play while you get to eat dessert. Two of Hailey's favorite things, music and dessert!

Kurt had to work and I was home with a sick kid so she ended up going with a girl from school, Emily and her mother. Emily is a very good violin/fiddle player also. She has been playing for quite some time and has even competed in the Ole' Time Fiddler's Contest they have every year. It's a pretty big deal.
Sad thing is Hailey was supposed to take a lot of pictures for the blog but after this shot one of the organizers from the concert told her pictures weren't allowed.


Hailey had a really good time and came home fired up about Orchestra. One thing though, she is starting to change direction with her instrument since she attended a Natalie McMaster concert about six months ago. She is really feeling herself pulled toward fiddle music than classical violin! She loves the bouncy, happy sounds of fiddle and it is much faster.
We will just have to see what she does with it this year!!!
