Topeka Youth Wind Ensemble

Yesterday Annabelle and several of her bandmates spent the day at Washburn University as part of the Topeka Youth Wind Ensemble. Fred and I drove over in the evening for the show, and what a show it was!

Their first piece was "Emperata Overture":



For their last piece, they teamed up with the Washburn Wind Ensemble for a rousing rendition of "Stars and Stripes Forever":



I'm a committed bass mom, but dang, those flutes just get me where I live.

Amazing what kids can put together in only one day of rehearsal! I'm so thankful that Annabelle has had lots of artistic opportunities like this here in Kansas.
