Ireland, Scotland, Whatever.
Happy St. Patrick's Day! To celebrate the day, I have some special music for you to enjoy. Remember when I told you about going to the OMEA District 1 concert? My son played with the orchestra for that performance.
This post isn't about the orchestra, though. This is about the OMEA District 1 High School Honors Choir that sang that day. In honor of St. Patrick's Day, I thought you might like to hear their amazing performance of "Loch Lomand." (Yes, I am fully aware that "Loch Lomand" is a song about Scotland not Ireland. You don't have to be so nitpicky, do you? Ireland, Scotland, whatever. They are pretty close together over there by England, right? It is still a pretty song to listen to, don't you think? Can't you just do me a favor and pretend it is a song about Ireland? Thanks. I appreciate you playing along.)
Seriously, the kids did an amazing job on it. The director was a lot of fun to watch too. He was very animated throughout their performance.
This video cuts off before the end of the song. I apologize for that, but then, you should be used to my amazing* skills with the camera by now. The memory on the camera ran out this time instead of the batteries dying on me. HA! I wish it hadn't because the choir not only did an amazing job with this song, but they also performed several other songs that they sang wonderfully, and I wished I could have recorded. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this. I love the "di-di-di-di" part. :-D
I hope to post the videos of the performances of the orchestra that my son played in later this week, perhaps. (Can't say I didn't warn you. Run! Hide! She's going to brag about her kid again! HA HA! )
Happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone!
