More band

Rebekah made the Idaho Allstate Band again, this time as first chair euphonium. She got on the bus on Wednesday, February 2, and spent the next to days in rehearsals before performing on Saturday, February 5. Seth and I traveled to Nampa the night before, spent the night and then went thrift shopping before attending the concert at Northwest Narazene.

When the French horn player moved his horn like this, we could actually see Rebekah.

But this is the view we got of her most of the time.

Rebekah had a solo, so she got to stand after one of the numbers.

She performed both a solo and in a brass quartet during Gem State solo and ensemble at Century High School on February 26.

The BHS jazz band and symphonic band performed at their spring concert in the BHS gym on April 4.

And the jazz band was invited to play during the North Star Independent Drumline fundraiser in the BHS gym on April 9.

Hillcrest and Bonneville are combining for marching band next year, so they held a joint fundraiser at BHS on Monday, April 18. Rebekah played both with the Bonneville jazz band and with the Jazz House Big Band.

They played in the commons. Dinner was served to all the ticket buyers, and there was a silent auction to earn extra money for the bands.

The Idaho Falls Symphony Youth Orchestra had their spring concert on Thursday, April 21. It featured their concerto contest winner. Rebekah rested for many-a-measure during her impressive violin cadenza.
