I do actually need to find what DH has done with the concert pics for this! the girls had a busy week tho. They went to the holiday orchestra in the city, which is essentially a non residential music camp. you can choose 3 different things to do. Both girls did the intermediate wind band. FrB did djembe drumming and ? whilst SB did gamelan and recorders . SB was very excited to have got to play the bass recorder for the first time, though she did say it was a bit tricky. The course goes on for 4 long mornings, with a concert in the final afternoon.
Both girls were keen to use this as a sleepover opportunity 
and it did allow DH to then use this time with his parents hospital appointments. And we have very lovely friends who didn’t pale in horror at the thought! SO they spent monday night with the deependers, and very much enjoyed that, and then a very raucous tuesday night at M’s [whose children they do chemistry with] home weds and thurs with the concert and the arrival of my parents.
They had a great time, both enjoyed it, and I look forward to seeing their concert [as obvs i was at work!] and sharing it.
