Saturday sounds

Today, I went to see my #1 niece play in her ukulele band concert. To be honest, I wasn’t too excited about going. But I had promised her mother that I would try it out. Well, I was pleasantly surprised. They did a wonderful job, and I actually really enjoyed it.


The ensemble is made up of kids from 10 to 16 years of age. They are the “B” team to the organizations “A” team… so they are all aspiring youth, who are gaining the experience and talent to move up to the A’s. I had heard my niece practice before, so I knew some of the songs that they were going to play. But, to hear 20+ people playing the same song on the ukulele at the same time in perfect harmony and perfect timing with each other, was amazing. Most of the concert was made up of songs where they played, and sang. But, I especially liked the instrumental pieces they did. They were all good singers, but the instrumental pieces really showcased their talent as a band.
