San Francisco Symphony

Every year, the upper grades travel to the incredible San Francisco Symphony to listen to some classical (and not so classical) music.  It's a terrific chance that not a lot of students often get, and we always take advantage of the invitation when it comes.  

This year's music focused mainly on familiar sounds and songs that the kids might or might not know.  An American in Paris was one of the selections, which was full of car horns, construction, birds, dogs, and people chattering.  It was interesting how the instruments made sounds they normally would not make in their usual use.  

The kids loved the music, although some fell victim to the comfortable seating in the Symphony Hall.  We can't all be music lovers, I suppose!
