It was a gorgeous Saturday night in Round Rock. Beautiful weather, and a perfect night for live music. And ... it was my birthday! What a fun way to celebrate the day. Saturday night, my daughters performed on stage with their three bands -- On Target, Chaotic 8, and Speed Limit 180. Yes, I said three ... my life is just a
little crazy.
We had a great crowd and lots of smiling faces enjoying the music. On Target opened for Chaotic 8, who opened for Speed Limit 180. Annie switches instruments with every band, from bass guitar, to keyboard, to rhythm guitar. In the past, Kate has switched from drums to keyboard in the latter two bands, but this time she played the drums exclusively and also had the chance to come out and sing some lead vocals.
It's so incredible to hear these kids play music at the level that they do. Particularly in the case of Speed Limit 180, it is sometimes difficult to remember that these kids are only range in age between 11 and 16. Check out the video links below to see for yourself!
Here are my favorite images from our musical night. And much thanks, to all these wonderfully talented musicians for making my birthday a special one. -- S
