Music to Our Ears: KDH goes to the Symphony

KDH Trip to Atlanta Symphony Orchestra

Tuesday morning, March 3rd, KDH came in with much excitement! Finally, the day of our field trip to the Symphony had arrived! We all came ready, with various ideas and hypotheses of what instruments we may see and hear. Everyone wore an IJP t-shirt, so we can all stay safe and stick together. We were ready! 

We played a fun, movement game called “Toega”, similar to Yoga before we left!

We all got buckled, safe and ready to go!

 

We are on our way! 

We all gathered in the lobby. Once everyone had arrived, we were shown to our seats in the Symphony. While we watched and waited so patiently for the hall to fill up, and the musicians to take their places, we observed them practicing before the show officially began. How cool! 

Finally, the Symphony began! We saw and heard violinists, pianists, and so many new instruments we had never seen or heard before.
