<p>NJmom - try to record her concerts. Last June someone posted that they recieved a grad gift of a slideshow of their child with the child’s concert music playing in the background. I thought that was great. By the time your Daughter graduates (I’m assuming 6/08) the technology to put something like that together should be easy enough even for us parents.</p>

<p>thanks to all for your good wishes, and allowing me to spread my pride at my D’s achievement.
Mythmom, she plays clarinet for the wind ensemble, but also alto and soprano sax for jazz groups.
Igglesfan, that’s a wonderful idea. Her school makes CDs for sale of all concerts- and naturally we buy every one. We don’t have VCR recorder (and she’s not always visible from the audience being short) though.</p>

<p>NJ_mother: LOL. My daughter played the flute and no matter where she was seated it always seemed to be right behind the conductor. We never saw her. BTW: She is short too. </p>

<p>DS plays violin and orchestras are set up so differently that wind ensembles, at least at their school and most others I’ve seen, that we could always see him.</p>

<p>When I was active over on the Musical Theate forum, we had a thread called “Brag, brag, brag”. Just a place to annouce the part your child got in the play or the honor/chair they received. Or anything else you couldn’t working into the conversation!</p>
