orchestra camp ~

Last August the girls were in orchestra camp through their school.  Their finale was a concert on the big stage at the high school.  I loved how comfortable Ella was on stage  (middle row third kid in, with sparkly purple headband), chatting it up with a friend between songs.  We had a little talk later about maybe keeping the chatting to before and after stage time -- which she agreed.  I also had the same talk with Zoe.  She pretty talked the ear off of the boy who sat next to her -- Ha!
