Right smack dab in the middle of the month, the high school orchestra took a trip to Oklahoma City. When I got an invitation to go as a chaperone, I jumped at the chance, despite the fact that I am still not back to 100%.
One of the unexpected treats was getting to see Benjamin. He didn't get to come to see Sarah perform in Dallas, but he just happened to be in OKC visiting his sister-in-law's family the same weekend we were there.
Some of the orchestra students surprised me with some sparkly pins,
and the same group of thoughtful students got each of the teachers Lego minis.
The students played for the faculty at Oklahoma City University and received some valuable feedback.
A former orchestra student now attends OCU, and it just happened to be his birthday! Seeing Sam made everybody smile. He is well loved.
The trip also included a OKC symphony performance. The conductor is German, and the program was all German music. His pre-concert talk was a delight.
I thought last year's trip would be my last one, what a delight to spend time making memories with these amazing teachers and students once again.
