"A Spirit for the Holidays"

Tweet

Today, (Sat) my wife & I attended The Minneosota Orchestras Christmas concert titled, "A Spirit for the Holidays". It was the Minnesota Orchestra wirh the Magic Circle Mime Company. They are well known for their Far East performances in festivals & major Orchestras in Japan, Taiwan,Hong Kong,DSingapore, and China. They've performed in childrens Festivals in Taiwan New Zealand, Malyasia and many other places as well. The show was a Chrsitams show about the sounds, music, of the Holidays. A regular song was performed by the Orchestra for about 15 minutes then the first Spirt appeared. She was called, Silence. She did not like the loud music of the Holidays so in typical Mime fashion she pulled a huge panel across the stage floor shutting off the sounds of the Orchestra. After a minute the conductor agreed to a more low keyed song not being so loud. Silence loved it. Then she conducted the Orchestra in a couple slow quiet Holiday songs. then in the crowd came a loud whistle & horn honking sound. It was "Noise" who loved the loud sounds of Holiday songs. He moved about the stage loudly of course. Then near the end Music appeared with an accordian. She was the mime that eneded the concert with a couple sing along songs. All told we had a great time enjoying the Orchestra and the mimes act as well the Sopirit of the Holiday as we sang along to Deck the Halls, Sleigh Ride, and Jungles Bells finishing off with We wish you a Merry Chrsitmas. Have you ever been to an Orchestra Chrsitmas Concert like this? How about a High School Chritmass Concert or play? They are so much fun. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~
