A Music Night At The Round Rock PAC

As my daughters would say, last night was just another Music Monday. But this time, it was a bit different. Normally, my girls record a cover song of the week on Mondays and post it on their YouTube channel. Last night they performed in their school band’s fall concert event instead. 


 True to a gig night for them, things were a little harried with all the things they had going on. Annie performed with the flute section of the honors band, Kate performed with the clarinet section of the symphonic band, and they played piano and bass with the jazz band. But while the respective groups were transitioning on and off the stage, the girls also had the opportunity to perform a couple of songs on their own, and also with their band Chaotic 8. The audience seemed to enjoy their performances very much! 


It kind of all came together quickly as a last minute idea. Much thanks to the members of our Chaotic 8 band families for coming out to support the girls’ school (no, not all of the band members attend the same one). And a big thank you goes out to the girls’ music instructor, Dean Kline, for all the wonderful efforts he puts forth into making the music happen. :) 


Have a great Tuesday! -- S






Annie & Kate performed a few songs for the audience while one of the school bands was moving onto the main stage. (See their video below).

Kate is a first chair clarinet player, and took the first part of "You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch".  She was recently honored by her school band instructor as a Wildcat PRIDE student for all her band efforts.  (Do I sound like I'm bragging? Maybe? Just a little?).  Very proud of my girl!

Chaotic 8 performing for the audience during more band transitions.  Yes, there's video below here too. :)
