The Dallas Symphony Orchestra has a great education program to introduce youth to the symphony.  Even a lot of adults think boring, stuffy when they think about attending a symphony.  But the youth program really shows the kids how fun and

ounds!  I love that feeling of the giant pipe organ vibrating the chairs!

 

Today's youth performance was entitled 'From Fantasia to Tubby the Tuba," it included music from Disney's classic film Fantasia.   There was a great performance of the character dances from The Nutcracker by students from Booker T. Washington High School in full costume.  We also enjoyed a reading of  Tubby the Tuba and his search for a way to "fit in" with the other instruments of the orchestra. 

 

We attended with sixty or so friends from PEACH, (Plano Educational Association of Christian Homeschoolers).  The field trips is one of my favorite reasons for home schooling!
