3rd Grade Concert

Lynnae’s elementary school chose January 15th as the day for the 3rd grade concert. They chose January 15th because it is the birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. The concert had an “I Have A Dream” theme. (January 15th also happens to be my birthday, so I got to spend my birthday at my very first school concert.) They have two split classes for 3rd grade this year... One is a 2/3 split, and one is a 3/4 split – so actually, only half of the 3rd grade participated in this concert.

The concert was pretty cute. The music teacher gave each kid a role – some were speaking, some instrumental, and some singing. Lynnae was going to be playing a percussion instrument, but with one week left before the concert she decided to change roles. She ended up getting to hold the world for the very last song, while a whole bunch of kids holding stars circled around it. She was very proud of her “extremely important” job!

3rd grade is also the year that they teach recorder, so we got to listen to a jazz song from the 3rd graders that consisted only of the notes “A” and “B”. It was actually pretty good. I was impressed with the concert, it was much more involved than I had anticipated. I’m curious to see what the 4th grade concert will be like next year!
