Fall concerts and performances

Dance and band. So much of our lives revolve around them. We don't have marching band competitions or halftime shows to go to this year, but Rebekah had several concerts in Rexburg to make up for it.

Ana at halftime: Friday, October 6

This year the white team's routine is a medley from Guardians of the Galaxy. The girls were supposed to have Mantis costumes from Amazon, but they turned out to be cheap and laughable, so they put together these high-octane costumes. Ana says dancing in pleather is undesirable.

Ana and Miriam at Festival of Trees: Monday, November 13

I couldn't shoot pictures for several weeks because my arm was in a sling after my rotator cuff surgery, so it was nice of Grandpa Scott to shoot pictures at this annual event.

Rebekah with symphony orchestra: Tuesday, November 14

Parents, grandparents, sometimes a great-grandma and sometimes sisters went to Rexburg to hear Rebekah's concerts.

Miriam with RMMS band: Wednesday, November 15

Miriam performed with the concert band, symphonic band and percussion ensemble at this end-of-trimester concert in the RMMS auditorium.

Rebekah with chamber brass: Thursday, November 16

Rebekah played with a brass quintet in the Snow Recital Hall. She also played with Sound Alliance (the auditioned jazz band at BYU-I) for a masquerade and a family Christmas concert. We don't have pictures from those.

Grandma and Grandpa Scott talk with Rebekah following her chamber brass recital.
