Concerto night

Emily's hard work practicing the viola was rewarded after she tried out and was chosen as one of 8 selected soloists to perform on Concerto night.   

Emily wrote her own bio and I love she wasn't afraid to show her humorous fun personality!

Emily told her viola instructor she isn't scared to preform for recitals anymore because nothing will ever be as scary as concerto night.    She hid it so well because she looked cool as a cucumber and didn't miss a beat.  

Look how poised and stunning she is!

This was such a big night for Emily.  She really appreciated all those who came to support her.

It took a bit of rescheduling but the whole family was able to come.

And those not pictured includes Bishop Sackewitz and her YW president Shelli Rosbach as well as a not so secret admirer and future prom date who also brought her some flowers.  

It was such a special night watching Emily accomplish one of her dreams!
