We headed back to St. Louis this weekend for the music festival. This year they had over 1,100 students participating. All 4 of the kiddos participated in piano, and then 3 of them participated in Art Voice, and Little Man competed in classical guitar. They all did really well. It's a lot of waiting around for their individual time while I run around and check in on all my students. They're champs for hanging in there every year. They walked away with a Superior rating in all eight of their performances. Little Lady even came in first place in Class AA competitive piano.
We ran really quickly to dinner with friends at this amazing calzone place called Sauce on the Side. Then we went back to the convention center for the winner's recital. Little Lady was extremely nervous. By the time it was her turn to play the entire ballroom was standing room only. It's the most people by far she's had to play in front of, but she did such a good job playing Debussy's Arabesque.
I also had a piano student win 2nd place in Class E, so it was really exciting!
We celebrated all of their hard work at The Fountain. They loved the ice cream sundaes.
This is their 4th MAMA festival and next summer it's going to be in Springfield, MO.
