Last week was all about music for our family.
This was Kai's third year in a row when he made the CCSD (Clark County School District) Honor Band. Around 700 kids tried out, and 100 or so made it.
Last few weeks Kai has had practises in Las Vegas Academy as well as in UNLV. Last Tuesday the Middle School Honor Band performed at the Ham Hall at UNLV.
It always amazes me how great they sound...most of kids, like Kai have only played few years of thier instrument.
We were very proud of him.
The following night we attended a concert at Foothill High School, where both Markus and Kai performed. Kai played with Middle School Wind Symphonic Band, and Markus played with High School Wind Symphonic Band. During the concert Kai was also recognized as the only one who made all three years in CCSD Honors Band in his middle school band.
I was able to record one of their songs, before my battery on the camera ran out.
Saturday was another busy day involving music.
Maija participated to the annual Jr. Festival at the UNLV.
She had to memorize two piano pieces and play them to the judges. She did great job and earned a Superior Rating.
Here is Maija before playing her song...a little nerveous.
Here she is after receiving her Superior Rating.
She was so excited!
To top our week of music, The Foothill Wind Symphony (with Markus) performed in the CCSD Advanced Band Festival at UNLV. They received "Superior" Ratings from all 4 judges.
So, we called our Saturday a Superior Saturday!
