Mrs. A missed the deadline for the Piano Festival last fall so she decided to hold her own festival. She hired a judge to come to her house and judge the students on their performance. She used the same requirements that the festival used. It was a crazy morning because Chase had an early soccer game. The game started late and was in S. Springs so we left when their was only 5-7 minutes left. We were ahead when we left but we found out that the team ended up loosing the game!! They need Chase on defense!!! But we made it on time for their performance time. Chase played Arabesque and In The Night and then Bridger played Circus March and March of the Gnomes. They're the same songs that they'll be playing for the recital in a few weeks so this was a good practice. Both boys performed beautifully and earned the highest score of Superior!!! They had their songs memories. They have worked for months on their songs and they sounded so good!! Matt and I and Mrs. A were waiting just outside the house while the boys took turns playing their songs. It was fun to listen to them. They did a great job!
When they were all finished, Mrs. A put a candle in a donut and we sang Happy Birthday to Chase. She had donuts for the boys as a reward for working so hard. She has been a fabulous teacher!!! We're going to miss her so much. I keep teasing her that I'll pay her extra to commute up to Tremonton to teach the boys twice a month. (I can't talk her into it). She's made learning the piano so fun for the boys but has also done a great job of teaching them the fundamentals. I'm so grateful we got to enjoy her for a little bit!!!
