Tonight was Lanie’s last middle school orchestra concert. How time flies. This evening she received recognition for her playing, and a medal for her three years’ attendance.
It’s a tradition for the concert to finish with the 8th grade orchestra playing the theme tune from the movie ‘The Pink Panther’ which explains why there is a lot of pink to be seen, and why some students, like Lanie, have panther whiskers.
Lanie will be in high school next year – wow. That also means that our year of not having to do a school run every day is coming to a close.
