MAY DAYS MUSIC

Another sign of spring is the calendar filling with school concerts. It's also a joy to see the students's growth after the academic year. The grandchildren's small town's referendum to build a Performing Arts Center now has come to fruition with a beautiful theater with room for seating 250 patrons.

This very same addition has caused a bit of dilemma since the end of the year concerts can only offer families 4 tickets/ family that are now requested on line due to the limited seating.  There has to be 2 different times to accommodate the attendees, one during the school day and the second an evening performance for the unassigned seats. 

So since we have both first and second grader grandchildren we had to go to 2 different performances on different evenings.  The evening concerts went in shifts so the audience present had to empty the auditorium and reenter if they had a child in the next timing.  There was a lot of grumbling.

The High School choir concert tickets were assigned seats with a different ticket request time on line. So coordination between families as to ordering seating together is a bit more challenging.

With the new PAC building there were be bugs to work out. Meanwhile we will still enjoy sitting on comfortable seats vs gym bleachers/ metal folding chairs. 

Our grand-children,
of course, sounded magnificent and we feel fortunate their school district and community support their music program.

Kudos to our high schoolers whose choral groups went to State and did well!

Good job Westby, pop 2200!
