Fright Night

The cutest little grandpa ever!

Tonight was Fright Night, which is the annual Halloween concert put on by our university's symphony orchestra.  Oh, it was so good!  The audience is always full of little kids in costume who wouldn't want to miss the costume contest where they march across the stage with the orchestra playing in the background. Genius, really, to expose these kids to great classical pieces in such a fun setting. 

The entire orchestra is also in full costume which adds to the fun.  Sterling and Sam, who both play violin in the orchestra, were a grandpa and scientist respectively.  Don't you just love Sterling's cute face in the above photo?  I know I'm his mom, but man this kid is so cute!  (Sorry Sterling.  Handsome.  The word is handsome!) We sprayed tons of gray and white into his hair, but his hair is so thick that it soaked it all up so you can't really tell. 

Sam the scientist with the really big brain!

I love hearing these boys play the violin!  They practiced harder than usual for this concert and it really paid off.  You should have seen how fast their bows were moving during the 4th movement of the Peer Gynt suite.  Amazing!  Sadie and Soren were with us.  They scavenged the costume bucket for something to wear - Sadie was Belle and Soren wore his knight's armor - and they both loved seeing Sterling and Sam up on stage.  It was a great evening!
