John has been playing the violin for a little over two years now and he does well. John has always been the type of kid that does not really get nervous in front of large groups. On Thursday I finally saw him nervous. He came home on Tuesday and informed me that he was first chair for his orchestra concert Thursday night. He was fine with that until his teacher let him know that he had to walk out on the stage after everyone else and tune the rest of the orchestra. For those of you not familiar with a symphony this is what a first chair violin always does. When he walked out on the stage you could tell he was a little nervous, but he did very well.
John also played in church for the first time today. The primary program was today and John played his violin while another boy played his cello and a girl their age played the piano. They did a great job and I know that John is relieved to have this week over.
Sorry I don't have picture because I recorded his concert and did not get any from today. You can trust me though when I say he looked very handsome and did awesome.
