Frozen Symphony

Marina and I had such a fun time at the Symphony's Halloween Spooktacular concert last year, that we were looking forward to going again this year. We wanted our costumes to coordinate, so I wore my Elsa costume again and Marina dressed as Anna. She wore the beautiful green coronation dress that a friend bought at Disney World for her. I even attempted to recreate the intricate bun Anna had in her hair. Marina hated the process but she was pleased with the result. I finished it off with a white streak, gold sparkles and green ribbons. Marina also brought her baby Anna plush doll as well.

We had a bit of a rush to get from church to the symphony, but we manage with 10 minutes to spare. Our seats were really good this year. We settled in and admired the rest of the costumes we saw.

The concert was very entertaining this year. We were surprised when the conductor came out in a suit - the musicians were all in costume. The first piece was music from the movie Spiderman. When it was nearly over, the conductor opened his shirt to reveal the Spiderman costume underneath. By the end of the music he had completed the transformation. We gave him a loud ovation.

The rest of the music was just as fun. We got to judge the best costumes in the orchestra. We got to participate in the music from Beetlejuice and Ghostbusters. The program ended with the theme from Star Wars, which created excitement with the kids. On the way out, each child was given a bag with candy and other goodies. It was a fun way to spend the afternoon.
