Each year for the past few years, our city has hosted a "Ten Grands" concert which includes, and I know this might seem obvious, ten grand pianos on stage. There are people playing those pianos, of course, though I will say--the sight of that many grands alone is stunning indeed.
Students are given free tickets to the midday concert, and we all went for the second year in a row. We were part of a group of homeschoolers from across the city--and would you believe it, there were 900 of us in all. Nine hundred. That's a big group, and we took up the bulk of the floor seating at the concert hall.
Pa had the day off and was able to join us at the concert. I couldn't take any pictures inside the hall, so you'll just have to look at a sign and then one of us standing outside.
But it was a lovely concert, you can rest assured.
The producer of the concert makes sure to include (incredibly talented) students playing the pianos as well. It's nice for the kids in the audience to see that music is awesome and wonderful and everyone should play the piano, amen and amen.
