Pianists!

The girls started taking piano lessons this fall from the pastor of the Samoan church here in town.  He and his family have more musical talent than I could ever imagine!  They're really amazing people and he's been a fantastic piano teacher.  As he said at the recital, we often see the kids dancing and singing contemporary music, so part of his goal was to teach them about classical music.  To that end, he encouraged us all to dress up the evening of the recital.  It was such fun to see everyone looking so nice.  We tend to be a bit lazy in that department around here...

Of course...we got a little silly, too...

Back to the music!  There were 14 performers--that's a little less than half the K-12 kids in town!  They had clearly all practiced very hard. Although they may have felt a little nervous, none of them acted it!  They did so well...proud mama/community mama moment!!

Here's Kelsey playing her song, Runaway River



And Stacy playing her song, Traffic Cop



Several community members had gotten together and made the kids all candy leis and small bouquets of flowers.  Such a heartfelt gesture!

Great job, piano students!  And thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Su'e family!!
