Seth really seems to have improved this season, and also seems to appreciate group performances. If only he could play with CYMO; now THAT was good music!
This is video of Seth's recital performance with his teacher Rodney Farrar. Sorry for the quality, it was taken with my low-quality digital camera that I had to use a chair for a tripod. I have since purchased a tripod.

Last Sunday the Arapahoe Youth Philharmonic Orchestra (APYO) had their final "graduation" concert. They played the first movement from Brahm's 2nd, a medley of songs from "Hook" by John Williams, and a REALLY cool adaggio from a collection of Russian folk dances called Sailor Songs; the "Plaintive Song" movement which features the cello section. A video of the song is below. There are three kids from our ward in the orchestra: Seth, his good friend Chris, and Jody Nicholas (a violist). They each had friends who also attended.

Seth really enjoyed playing this piece; you can really tell he is totally into it.

Excellent job on the piece with Rodney, we failed to mention name and piece and composer, dad...Loved it Seth, it's come a long way since you first started. I really enjoyed it, the runs were really clean and the tempo stayed consistent. Good work!
Looks like Sethy should be sitting on the outside of that stand maybe a few more stands up...thats my humble opinion. Oust the first chair!
