The Little Red Hen

Celtic with a Kick

Whew. What a weekend! Saturday afternoon the Chelsea House Orchestra, the music group my boys are in, performed at the library celebration for the "Best Small Library in America 2008."
Saturday evening was the 10 year Anniversary Show for the group. It was also the release event for their new CD! The event was a HUGE success.  It was a sold out show with people standing in the aisles on the sides of the auditorium.  The show started with the middle school Fiddle Club and then the High School kids took the stage by storm! 
If you want to hear a GREAT music group, and I don't say this just because my kids are in it, get a copy of the new CD, "Celtic with a Kick." Older CDs are also available, in fact, they are stored under my bed! Help me out. I have nowhere to put the new ones!
The group travels and plays at Highland Festivals and other events. They will be performing at the Edinboro Highland Festival, in Edinboro, PA  May 16, 17, and 18.  On May 24 they will perform at the Alma Highland Games in Alma, MI. They will also be performing at other festivals over the summer.
You can find more information on the group here and information on ordering CDs here.
I just looked and the new cd is not listed on the website yet but you can still order it.

New Years Eve

We usually stay home for New Years Eve and sit around working a puzzle or playing cards trying to stay awake until midnight. Not very exciting. This year we are doing something different. We are traveling to Cadillac, MI for the First Night festivities there. We will hear both boys play with the Chelsea House Orchestra. D will play violin and M will play djembe. P will dance in the audience.

Have a great New Year's celebration!
