Beautiful Music......

Last night (February 5th), Kallie played her violin with ten other members of the All-District Orchestra in front of the Robbinsdale School Board. This small group played a song from the 14th century titled "Sword Dance." There were nine violins, one cello, and one bass.

Kallie is a member of the All-District Orchestra, which is made up of 105 students (5th and 6th graders only) from the Robbinsdale School District. They practice once a week after school and perform two or three concerts. In addition, they attend a Minnesota Orchestra concert, record a professional-quality CD, and tour district Elementary and Middle Schools.

The All-District Orchestra will be performing at the Minnesota music Educator's Midwinter Clinic on Friday, February 16, at the Minneapolis Convention Center. This ensemble was invited to perform based on an audition process. Unfortunately, Kallie will not be able to attend this event as she will be in Florida visiting her grandparents.
