Barry's boss had bought season tickets to the Phoenix Symphony's Youth Concert Series. His boys are a little older and have grown tired of it, so we got the tickets. We got dressed up and went to Symphony Hall in Downtown Phoenix. We were too late for some of the before concert activities (instrument petting zoo, etc) but enjoyed the program a lot. The theme of the concert was machines. They had some fun numbers like a song with a typewriter soloist, and a movement from "The Grand Canyon Suite" using a wind machine. The final number was "Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel" with narration, much like "Peter and the Wolf". I think Trenton liked it better than Kira who started to get bored by the end. Still, it was fun to expose them to something like this. I think Trenton really liked the percussion. We were on the second row, so we got to see everything up close and personal. After it was over, Trenton just wanted to explore the auditorium.
