CYBA Winter Concert

B and C had their Winter Concert last night with CYBA.  It was such a fun time and I loved hearing the different arrangements and pieces they played.  Above is a photo of the Wind Ensemble.

Spring Band Concert {A's Last Concert}

A, B & C had their final band concert for this semester last night.  This concert was extra special because it is A's last concert as she is graduating next month and headed off to college.  They did a fantastic job and all 3 of them came home with an award.  I cannot say enough good things about this program!

Headed to the concert!

I am so grateful for CYBA and the opportunities it has given my kids.  David and I really want the kids to learn a musical instrument and that can be challenging with homeschooling and this organization has been such a blessing.

Birthday Girl

Yesterday, B turned 15.  A, B and C had their Winter Band Concert on her birthday.  It was fun to hear them play.  B is sensitive, compassionate and caring. I love her passion for others. To know her is to love her. Love you B!!  I look forward to celebrating you even more this weekend.

CYBA Holiday Band Concert 2019

A, B and C getting ready to leave for the band concert.

A and B with E

Last night, the oldest 3 kiddos had their holiday band concert.  Several friends were able to attend and support them - that was so special!  Everyone did great.  For those that don't know, A plays the flute in Advanced Band and Wind Ensemble, B plays the trumpet in Advanced Band and Wind Ensemble and C plays percussion in Advanced Band.  However, C ended up playing in all 3 bands.  One of the percussionist in beginning band was sick so C sightread the music and helped out - I was so impressed!  He also helped with the first piece in the Wind Ensemble.  All 3 bands did well and it was a fun concert.

 Arriving for the concert...

 I loved the program this year.

 The kids with friends!

 More friends!!

Hope you are enjoying the holidays and get the opportunity to attend a holiday concert!

CYBA Spring Band Concert 2019

B, C, and A after Band Concert

A, B and C had their Spring band concert last night.  It was fun to hear them play and watch them perform.  C finished his first year as a percussionist and was awarded the Outstanding Musician award for his Beginner Homeschool Band class.  A (on flute) and B (on trumpet) both performed in the Advanced Band and Wind Ensemble (this was B's first time in the Wind Ensemble and she did great).  A was awarded the Outstanding Musician award for her Advanced Homeschool Band class.  I'm so proud of these three!

Receiving awards...

One of the highlights of the concert was when a T-Rex showed up to direct Jurassic Park.  It was very funny and G was super excited to see "the dinosaur."

I look forward to hearing them play at the next concert!
