I have to echo Farrah here.
Good viola players are IMPOSSIBLE to come by. Most are converted violinists.
If she keeps it up, she'll have a nice college scholarship and immediate job offers.
Yay for the young violist!!!

As for family entertainment, the Utah Symphony has what is called "Casual Thursdays" where you can show up in shorts and a tee shirt if you want and catch a performance. Lots of families take advantage of this. It's nice to not have some stuffed shirt (blouse really, as it's usuall some blue-haired older woman) who believes kids should not be there - just because the baby projectile vomited all over her backside. But that's a story for another post.
