Last Friday's concert featured Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf and the talented young dancers of the local Ballet Caliente, directed and read by owner Sheryl-Marie Dunaway. The children and young adults were excellent!
I photographed the rehearsal as well, since the threat of thunderstorms and even large hail existed. Fortunately, the hail didn't materialize. The stage had to be wiped down using towels and a broom. There were even two very quick rainbows. Concerts with rainstorms are interesting because I tend to meet new people when you share rain shelters. This time I met some orchestra members and the young adults under a tent for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Education.
Here's a few of my favorite photos, but you can see lots more of my favorites pictures at the Baynet.com http://www.thebaynet.com/news/index.cfm/fa/viewstory/story_ID/32748

The poor duck was just eaten, hence the feathers were flying!
