I am probably the only one who will get that this post title is supposed to be the beginning of the Addams Family Theme. But it is. Just trust me.
Jack was in the pit orchestra for the high school play of "The Addams Family"
I have to be honest...it didn't have that high of expectations for it but I was
TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY!
The sets, the costuming, the acting and singing...and the orchestra!!! They were incredible! The entire production was amazing and SOOO fun!
We all went for family home evening
Handsomest cellist ever up there on the back left
So proud of Jack!
He spent so many hours after school in rehearsals. The 2 weeks leading up to opening night he was in rehearsal pretty much every night for hours and even then would come home and practice his part even more! The hard work paid off...all the kids in the orchestra must have worked hard too because they sounded INCREDIBLE!
Incredible enough that I didn't totally lose my mind when Jack texted to tell me he'd broken his cello bow after the dress rehearsal performance for the elementary kids. His bow got caught between the orchestra room doors and completely snapped. Oh baby.
I wish I had a picture of him in the pit...so many talented musicians down there and a wonderful conductor. I am so grateful for all the incredible people Jack has gotten to work with and the cool opportunities Jack has been able to have thanks to music.
Music is pretty much the best thing ever!
