Weekly wrap UP 12/20/19 -- Wicked and Handel/Bach Symphony performances

Our local co-op group got reduced tickets to see the performance of Wicked at the Fox theater in the city.  My daughter really wanted to go and asked if this could be part of her Christmas present.  So we bought tickets and had a lovely evening out.  I will admit I didn't know much about it but really enjoyed the show and the music.

There was a decorated WICKED tree in the lobby

the stage was elaborate and the costumes were fantastic.

We actually got a family picture before the show started.

We went to this show on Thursday night, my husband vows we will never do a school night again because he has to get up to go to work while the rest of us can sleep in lol.  Except MarioFan and I couldn't as the next morning we went to the symphony.


In Friday morning we went to the Symphony as this is part of our music appreciation/history class that MarioFan is taking with his friend.  We heard 3 pieces from Handel, Water Music, Sonatina #5 and Music for the Royal Fireworks.  They also played 2 pieces by Bach, Brandenburg Concerto and Orchestral suite No 3.

Even though this is a day time performance it was packed. This is a picture of the lobby prior to the show beginning.  Plus they served Krispy Kreme doughnuts before the show.

We were excited to see a harpsichord on the stage:)

The boys have an assignment to write a review of the performances where they include musical terms they have been learning about.  We have several more performances to attend planned for the year with the same type of assignment:)


Afterwards we treated the boys to a lunch out which they enjoyed as neither are huge fans of classical music.

We took the boys to a local favorite...Fritz root bear restaurant and  got to watch them packaging. 

We are now going to begin our Christmas break for the next two weeks.  Firedrake has already ended her first semester at college and we are waiting to see her grades.  She thinks she did well:)
