Kalena's First Concert!


A few weeks ago Kalena's music teacher in school was teaching about stringed instruments. Kalena said, "I play a stringed intsrument. I play the ukulele." Her teacher asked her to bring it in and play for the class. She called me right after class and said, "I'd like to invite Kalena to play in our upcoming school concert for fourth through seventh grade." I told her she is shy in front of a lot of people but I think it would be a great experience for her. She played a song she already knew well. She was soooooo nervous and I was so nervous for her. The auditorium was full! You can tell in the video she was beyond nervous, but she still played the heck out of her ukulele and sung even though it was very quietly with her head down! She said she didnt want to see everyone watching her. The end is the cutest when she hops down like, "Get me outa here!" I am so proud of her for making it through! She LOVES to play her ukulele and usually there is a sparkle in her eye as she plays and sings! I love my little Kalena and so proud of all that she is. She loves everything and everyone and joy cant help but follow her everywhere!
