Cello Around Town - National Federation Junior Festivals

Alexander and Emilie {non-blurry photo - taken after re-setting the lens on the camera body} both presented two pieces at a review board on Saturday at Gardner Hall at the University of Utah. It was Zander Banders First Recital. He had been given an previous opportunity when he first started playing 6 months ago, but had cold feet. This time he played 'Twinkle Variation A' and 'French Folk Song.' Emilie played two pieces as well. Both of them had to play a 'Required' piece as well as a 'Fun Piece.'

Both received ratings of 'Superior' from the three panel judge {No Simon on the panel}.




I also attach a photo from when Zander first was insterested in the cello...still in diapers...but wanting to be like his big brother and sister.

"Superior" for both? Wow! Nice job, you two! Can we recruit Emilie and Zander to teach our kids to play when we move back West?!
