This fall break, I followed my aunt to Alexandria, where she would perform in a orchestra. I did not like to go to concerts when I was younger, but now I do not think they are so bad. However, what was bad was the time I had to wait. I sat in the lounge while my aunt and everyone else practiced in the concert hall. I tried to complete my homework during that time, but I just could not focus. Either way, I sat there, whittling away the time until the show started.
Finally, it was time for the concert, and I joined the crowd as they assembled in the concert hall. The lights dimmed, and the performers all flooded onstage. They gave a short speech, then the conductor came out. Then, the orchestra began to play. It was fascinating to hear all the different sounds of instrument all combined into one. However, the orchestra lasted much shorter than I thought. I was expecting it to last longer, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. I think that I will get to appreciate concerts even more after this.
It sounded like you had a great time. What instrument does she play? Overall I liked you post.
ReplyDeleteYour fall break sounds like it was fun. I personally don't enjoy orchestras, but I'm glad you seemed to enjoy it. I think I would appreciate orchestras a little more if I saw one too.
