Hannah’s Festival Concert

I had the privilege last night of traveling to Cookeville, TN to Tennessee Tech University with my dad to attend my sister Hannah’s Symphony Band concert. It was Festival week for TTU’s band, they have all worked hard welcoming high school students to their campus and working with guest conductor’s to perform pieces in their concert.

Hannah has worked herself super hard this week with her normal school work load, preparing for the concert, preparing for her Air Force Band Audition Tuesday, and on top of it all she is the libraian for TTU’s band so she had so much music to prepare for this Festival weekend. Well, I think it was worth it – for this concert at least - as it sounded wonderful! Hannah had a solo part in just about every piece they did, it was so great seeing her up there doing what she loves – and being really good at it! I am very proud of Hannah for following her dreams and doing everything she needs to to have a career in music performance.

If you think of her tomorrow (tuesday) please pray for her as she auditions tomorrow to be able to join the honorable Air Force Band. It may seem crazy, but it is a fantastic band, she would be able to have music performance as a career right out of graduation, plus the “perks” like being in the military, serving your country, and the compensation they provide is really nice. It’s a little scary sending any of your family members off into the military in any capacity, but she really wants this and I think it is the perfect place for her.

Here are some photos of the concert for you to enjoy :)
