Musical Morgan

Morgan loves being in choir at church and sings all the time!  She always has to see Mrs. Beverly after church.  Mrs. Beverly is our music director who teaches Morgan choir and plays the organ every Sunday.  I asked Morgan if she wanted to learn to play an instrument.  Expecting to hear, "Yes!  The piano!", or even "Yes!  The violin!"  But no, she responded with, "Yes!  The harp!"  This kid surprises me all the time.  Maybe we can try again with the instrument later!
 
So when I heard of a special event at the Orpheum in Memphis I knew we had to go.  They were doing a special Disney Concert.  The Memphis Orchestra was onstage and they played all the music from the Disney movies.  Some songs had live singers with them.  And they played footage from the movies on a screen.  They even encouraged us to sing along!  GaGa was ready to join us too!
 
But the coolest part of the day was before the show.  They had an instrument petting zoo!  Morgan was thrilled.  They had kid-sized instruments with instructors to teach the kids how to use them.  Morgan played a cello, violin, trumpet and flute.  She was disappointed there was no harp!  But it was a great day that all three of us enjoyed.
