Youth Orchestra of Central Virginia

A few nights ago, Caleb and Liam played in their Fall orchestra concert.  This is the first time Liam has played in the Evans group (mostly middle schoolers) after playing for two years in Junior Strings (mostly elementary school kids).  Several weeks before the concert they have seating auditions and Liam was placed as the 2nd chair in 2nd violin and Caleb was 3rd chair in cellos. This was great because it meant that they were sitting at the end of their rows and we had a clear view of them from our seats.  It's always amazing to me to watch them perform so flawlessly after only 6-7 rehearsals.  Mr. Brubaker is a fantastic and fun conductor and the kids all have a great time.

The boys get a little embarrassed (especially Caleb) when Jared is walking around on  stage shooting photos of them.....but I told them the kids just think he's the orchestra photographer, which in a sense he is because they love his pictures!  The color is so crisp and clean, I love it.

In January Gavin will start back up with Junior strings, so more concerts to come!
