The Night of Concerts


We had a fun/busy night last week.  Zack has been taking rock band lessons.  Yes, that's a thing.  He and three other 8th graders have spent the last few months learning how to be in a band together.  Zack mostly plays his electric guitar, but he also got to play the bass and a little on the keyboard.  Last week they had their concert and it was awesome.

Each of the kids got to pick out a song they wanted to learn.  Zack chose AC/DC TNT.  Of course.  Then they had two songs by Cold Play and a Taylor Swift.  Zack tolerated the Cold Play, but he was NOT happy about Taylor Swift.  In fact, he's not sure he wants to do the band again just because he might be asked to play more Taylor Swift.  Hilarious.  Anyway, I thought they did a great job.  I mean, it wasn't anything you would pay money to see, but for a bunch of 8th graders it was pretty good.  I should have gotten a picture of Zack with his guitar after it was over because the lighting in the room was so bad that pictures didn't work.  Bummer.

From there we raced up to the Zermatt for a Charlie Jenkins concert.  Jake and I went to it last year and enjoyed it so much that we wanted to take the kids this year.  It was a great concert.  Paul Cardall played with them.  Beautiful music!

Sage got to eat this huge cotton candy at the concert.  She ate every bite.  Of course.
