Veterans Day Celebration 2013

On November 11, 2013, we joined a large group of people at the Cupertino Veterans Memorial to recognize and honor the contributions and sacrifices of our veterans. I'm glad our son, with his fellow band students, got the opportunity to contribute their part to perform in this event and paid tribute to these heroes and heroines through their music.
 

May Concert 2013 - Beginners Band

Winter Concert 2013

The beginner's band had their first concert last week. I was quite surprised by their achievement! They've come a long way in such a short time, from the first class where so many kids had their first encounter with the instruments. Kudos to their band teacher Mr. Pennings and the kids!

Target Summer Pops Opening Concert 2010

The opening of the free series of summer pops concerts started off with Jon Nakamatsu playing Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. It was great enjoying classical music played by the Symphony Silicon Valley in a relaxed and casual environment. The kids seemed to enjoy it a lot!

Peter Jaffe conducting.
