The Boys' Recital

The boys had a recital yesterday for all the students of their violin teachers. It had about 20 children in the recital and it went in order of how well the students play. These are pictures of the boys sitting nicely before it all starts. Liam went first because he has only been playing for 4 months now. He played a variation of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Since he was first I got to steal a picture of him before he started. He did a great job and was not nervous at all. Lance went in the last half of the kids and he had a challenging song which he knew well. However, when he got up there he got a little nervous or something and lost his place in the middle of the song. He figured it out and started up again, but was not very happy about it at all. He was also mad because they handed out awards from a competition he was in earlier in the year and he got her certificate for a perfect score in that competition. He was so mad at himself for messing up at the recital he said that he didn't deserve the certificate. We told him that he did perfect at the competition and that was a different day and he deserves the recognition.
After the recital they all got chocolate notes. Lance perked up a bit when he saw the chocolate. Here they are relieved that it is over.

Cute boys! I love to hear violin music. My daughter's piano teacher's grandsons take violin lessons so they are included every year at her piano recital. Congrats to the boys. Your son sounds like a perfectionist. I have one of those, too!
