DoDs All- Europe Honor Band

Ellen made first chair in the DoDs All-Europe Honor Band (French horn) this year. She left for Weisbaden on a Sunday afternoon and spent Sunday through Thursday night at a youth hostel. They practiced for a concert and participated in social events that were planned for them. She had a great time!

We drove to Weisbaden on Thurday after school/work for the concert. We had not been in Weisbaden before. It is a beautiful city! The weather was perfect. We stopped at a park in the center of the city for a picnic supper before the concert began.

The concert was in a beautiful, old concert hall.

The inside was even more impressive than the outside! It is hard to see Ellen in these pictures but she is there!

The concert was wonderful! She is supposed to get a DVD and we are looking forward to watching that!

We took Ellen home after the concert so she could take her statistics exam on Friday morning...fun!
