Fiona's holiday concert

[pegkerr]

Tonight, Fiona dressed in unfamiliar plumage, including such strange and exotic things as nylons (!) and high heels (!) for her high school holiday concert.






Many high schools hold their holiday concerts in their school auditoriums. Pah, we sneer at your pitiful auditoriums. This is where Fiona's high school holiday concert was held tonight, at the Basilica of St. Mary in Minneapolis:

Basilica of St. Mary

The concert was awesome, worthy of the fabulous place and acoustics. Six choirs, orchestra, wind ensemble, a feast of musical delights. More sacred music than I expected, really, given that it is a public high school. Alas, Rob stayed home to nurse the feverish Miss Delia. They truly missed a treat. Fiona reports that she made it most of the way through her pieces unscathed (playing second violin), "except that really tricky part of the Hallelujah Chorus where the sopranos go crazy."

I'm sorry to hear that Delia is still sick, and that she and Rob had to miss the concert, but I'm happy to hear that it went well for Fiona and that she at least had you there to attend. The Basilica is, indeed, a gorgeous place, and she's lucky to be able to perform in it!

They're strange and exotic to some of us adults, too. ;-) I haven't worn pantyhose or high heels since I was about 21. I hates 'em, I does. Fortunately, I rarely need to dress up, and when I do, ankle-length skirts or dress pants fill the bill.
