Orlando Philharmonic Field Trip

Our first "official" field trip as a group took place last Wednesday afternoon. We all loaded up and headed for the big city of Orlando. These little girls were in my van (along with their lovely Mamas) and were so precious in their excitement at seeing the "skyscrapers" as we drove into downtown.

Of course, there was no photography allowed during the performance, but I snuck this one as the musicians were warming up. The show was titled "The Nature of Music" and was a special concert just for school children. We had been given a CD and curriculum to prepare our kids for the experience and it was great. Avery and I both learned a lot and REALLY enjoyed the show.

Along with the music we enjoyed, we were also treated to a performance by the Orlando Ballet Company dancing to Swan Lake and two opera singers that performed "Flower Duet." Our students were very well behaved and truly enjoyed the experience.

Of course, after all the being quiet and sitting still, they had to get a little silly!! Can't wait til the next adventure!
