You know, I've been doing this Haunted Halloween Recital thing for 4 years now and I've never blogged about it. In fact, I've never blogged about any of my piano recital. Seeing that I have 17 piano students now that come to my house every week (I teach Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday) and put up with my crazy household, it is only fitting they get a place of recognition on my blog. Plus, I love them so much, they feel like a part of my family.
So, here you go, 2010's Haunted Piano Recital!
Me with 13 of my students (3 of them couldn't make it and one had already left before the picture)
I only had time to snap just a couple photos after the recital. One of my piano students has an amazing mother and father (well they all have amazing parents) who set up the haunted cellar every year and then let us use it for the recital. It is amazingly fantastic. I wanted to get a video of it but when I went out to get started the "foyer" was already brim full of people. This was our best attended Haunted Recital yet. We had so many people. We set up 60 chairs and had about 10 still standing in the back.
And guess who one of my guests was this year?
That's right!
My man came!
YAY!!!
This is the first time he's been able to come. Usually he is in the super thick of things with harvest. My brother Jeron came too and they helped me set up all the chairs and bring in all the supplies from the vehicles. It was very nice because I'm usually doing all that myself. They were such HUGE helpers. They even tallied up the winners of the candy guess for me.
Kami got to perform this year. Jeron recorded a little video of it for the grandparents.
Can we just have a side note here where I can say how ridiculously proud I am of my daughter. She is fantastic. Being the daughter of the teacher has it's set backs... like only getting one lesson to help you prepare for your recital. But she was amazing. She picked a song at the back of her book, I helped her one time, and the rest of it she got all by herself. I was just beaming with pride. She is such a smart and talented girl.
Landon actually did a song as well, for intermission. At the recital everyone gets to pick a spooky sound on my piano to play their recital piece on. Landon's favorite sound is a submarine. It sounds like bubbles. He calls it the "fishy song". He had to play it for every piano lesson I had for a month. So I asked him if he wanted to play it at the recital, and of course he did because this little guy loves for everyone to see how cute he is. I don't have a video of this, but he sat up on the bench, placed his hands on the keys and then turned around (with his hands still on the keys) and gave the audience a big "aren't I adorable" smile.
But, do you want to know the best thing of all? After the recital was over and we were returning chairs Brandon said "Well, I think it went really well."
WHAT!?! Did you hear that?
I was so proud.
It really did make me feel fantastic inside to know my husband liked my recital.
