Piano Festival - April 15, 2011

Cady and Porter at the old Theater in Preston, Idaho

Cady and Porter are taking piano lessons in Montpelier, Idaho from a very wonderful teacher, Shirley.  She encouraged them to participate in a piano festival in Preston.  If you place in the top three of your category you will receive a trophy.  That was enough encouragement for Porter.  They play for a judge in the morning and then at a recital in the afternoon if you are in the top 3.  They had a web site you have to keep checking to see if your name is listed or not.  Both of them qualified to play, but we didn't know until during the recital where they placed.  Cady got 2nd in her category and Porter got 3rd.  He was glad to get a trophy, but bummed that it was third place.  They both did very well.  There were a lot of people in that theater for that recital.  This picture is right before the recital - before they got their trophies.
