Holiday Concert
Fifth and Sixth Grade - Band, Orchestra and Chorus
Tuesday, December 11
When I got there Chris said she was surprised that it was so full when she arrived at 6:30 that we had to sit on the balcony.
I was glad that I had my long lens (55 - 300) along.
I was also quite pleased with my new Nikon D7000. These photos were all taken without flash.
When taking pictures of the Jazz Rock Band, I was surprised to see my brother's grandson Andrew (royal blue).
This is why I was there - to see our granddaughter Gloria (in pink) singing in the chorus.
The girls are smiling because...
...the boys were doing turkey movements when singing Turkeys United.
I liked the shadows as the Jazz Rock Band played while the chorus left the room and the band came on stage.
While using my camera as binoculars, I found Charlotte (left) daughter of friends from our church - Jerry and Jenny.
Then I found Elsie in percussion (red & black dress) daughter of friends Kraig and Janet - also from our church.
The Christmas Stomp was a cute song played on upside down trash cans...
...and the lids.
There was also lots of clapping.
The directors - Sara (chorus), Shenna (orchestra - yes, she is pregnant), and James (band).
Time for photos of Gloria - these by her mom.
Our pretty Gloria

Thanks for inviting us, Gloria

Yes, she is pretty -- seems like she's gone from a little girl to a young lady overnight!
@myhopeisinjesus - I agree. I had her out on Saturday for her birthday - she is now 12 - and can't believe how quickly she has become a young "lady".
How nice to be able to take such lovely photos without flash -- and to have them be so nicely focused! I am using a 55-200 lens almost like a normal lens these days!
It looks like it was a great evening! It always encourages me to see so many youngsters involved in music. Your camera did well. Mine is not good at taking ANY photos when there is no natural light. It seems like every single picture is blurry. It does great for nature shots outside, though.
@DanishDoll - I agree that it is encouraging to see so many children involved in music.
@slmret - I do love having a variety of lens.
She is pretty. Her dress is pretty too. My printer is on strike, and won't transfer pictures from the camera to the computer, so I can't show pics of our church Christmas program yet.
