Winnipeg Youth Orchestra

We were lucky enough to end the school week (there are no classes for the students tomorrow, as it is a city-wide in-service day) today with a special concert by the Winnipeg Youth Orchestra (which is made up of students from Grade 6-12). It was a fantastic performance, and they played some Tchaikovsky, a Cuban-inspired piece... and then ended off with the William Tell Overture! Here's what some of our students thought of the performance:

The last song sounded like something from a horse race... or a baseball game! - Braedon and Zoey
It sounded FABULOUS! - Kaelyn
It was like a journey through music. - Emily
It was awesome, and I really enjoyed it. - Easton
It was amazing, but most of the time I didn't know what was happening, because it would go loud and soft, fast and slow - it was confusing sometimes. - Jaida
The last song reminded me of Ariel, when her dad is coming out of his palace in The Little Mermaid. - Kayleigh
The second song almost made me do the conga! - Taryn
It was the loudest music I've ever heard! - Nolan
The last song sounded like it was from the Roadrunner cartoons. - Maegehn
