Musical Kits Part 1: Festival

Last week, both Thomas and Gordon participated in the IF Music Club's Junior Music Solo Festival for the first time.  They were both given two original pieces of music which they tried to perfect and memorize over the course of several weeks, then perform for a judge.  I remember participating as a child and it's amazing how being in a room and playing for just one person can be so nerve wracking!  Both boys did very well-- Thomas scored a 97 out of 100 and Gordon scored 99.

Chris has been out of town, so I'm posting these videos of their pieces for his benefit as well as yours.

Here's Tom with Celebration at Dunvegan Castle and Bagatelle...



And here is Gordon with The Thing That is Under My Bed and Copy Cat...
