Violin Graduation

On Thursday evening Ali graduated from the Twinkle Twinkle Little Star level and moved onto the next level. All the students graduating performed at their level on Thursday night at Cottonwood High School. They received a graduation certificate afterwards.

We walked in and started scoping out a place to sit. Once settled Ali asked me if I brought my camera. "WHAT"??? How could I forget my camera? Especially on such an exciting occasion. BUT I DID! I took a few pictures of her with my cell phone, whoopee!

Ali was so nervous that her jaw was chattering like she was experiencing hypothermia or something. We went back out in the hall to have her violin tuned, and we were able to talk with Kayleen for a few minutes (her teacher). Her level played last, when it was time for her to perform, we walked out into the hall again and once I knew she was in the right place went back inside.

She did fantastic. She was toward the back so we couldn't see her face but we could see her bow, up and down up and down. She stayed with all the other students and did great. WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU!!
