We had a great time on our fieldtrip to Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis. We had excellent seats in the 14th row on the main floor. The kindergartners were on their best behavior and were great members of the audience. Listening to the music and seeing the musicians on the big screen was very cool! The Musical Tales concert gave the children an opportunity to hear all of the instruments come together to tell some interesting stories!
In the photo above we were standing in front of the door to Channel 4 TV station as we waited for the other grades to get off the bus. We managed to be in the way as the weather man Mike Augustyniak was trying to get in the door to do his mid-day news brodcast. (Of course I did not have my camera ready to get him in our photo!)
