Band & a Violin?



Chylanne wanted to play violin, but her school doesn't have orchestra. Soooo... her band teacher agreed to let her play violin in band. Sounded a little odd, but it worked out really well. She learned to play all on her own, & did a duet in church after only 3 1/2 months. She's kinda enjoyed getting noticed at her concerts, because she chose an aqua green violin, so it definitely stands out :)

Last night was her last concert. Grades 6-12 performed at the highschool. Her teacher handed out all of the end of year awards & trophies. She was awarded a pin for participation in the honors orchestra a few months ago (they trained for 1 day & performed that night)... And she also received the "outstanding student" trophy for her grade! We are so so proud of her!

Congratulations Chylanne!

That's GREAT! I played my cello in the Band at Shaw because the Band was much better than the Orchestra!! I enjoyed it so I know where she is coming from!!! Keep it up.
