M performed at his first Solo & Ensemble this morning. He played two short pieces by Robert Vandall on piano.
He did a great job, playing in a small room with three strangers watching him: the judge, a person helping the judge, and a woman who, right before we entered the room, announced that she was also going to watch. The unidentified woman, who I am guessing is a piano teacher, sat at a chair literally an arm's length from M while he played. I was also in the room - I asked M if he wanted me there or not, and he told me it didn't matter. Cool as a cucumber, he.
Here are some before and after pictures of M at the venue, Livonia's Franklin High School:
Before, his shirt devoid of decoration.
After, with his blue medal!
Congratulations, M! Well done, sir!
P.S. Did I mention yesterday was M's 13th birthday?
