In the Box

In addition to the March 1st Birthday Greeting Tour, I spent part of Thursday at the symphony.  Ruth (a dear lady from our church) and I got to experience the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra from the box seats. 

The performance was of Aaron Copeland's Appalachian Spring and Mendelssohn's A Midsummer Night's Dream.  The view was spectacular.  It's so interesting to watch the members of the orchestra and see the intensity with which they perform.  Here's our view from the box before the performance.  (No photos allowed during)

Appalachian Spring is among my favorite pieces of music and it was such a wonderful experience to hear it performed live.  Especially since I was in such great company.  Thanks Ruth!  Oh, and there happened to be some people we knew there as well, but they had to make due with 5th row seats.  We gave them a royal wave from our box! :)
