We went to Wakefield this evening for Edwin’s orchestra concert. It was the second orchestra concert of his we’ve been to since COVID. The first one in December was a bit rusty, of course, since they had recently emerged from a year and a half of virtual instruction and practicing.
Tonight’s concert was so sweet. They sounded beautiful and seemed buoyant. Though most students remained masked, their eyes were smiling and their bows were light.
Our family revived a few traditions this time around: my parents joined us for the concert and we took the kids for Sweet Frog afterwards. I usually complain about the exorbitant prices and how it makes so much more sense to buy sundae makings at Giant, but it was worth it this time.
