Marina and I have been fans of the performing arts for a long time, but one type we'd never tried was the symphony orchestra. Today they had a special concert, Bugs Bunny at the Symphony. I thought it would be a great way to introduce her to this art form. She chose her fanciest dress to wear and she brought McKenna with her. She told me that this was McKenna's weekend.
We arrived just minutes before the performance began. Our seats were very close to the stage, right near the harpist. Marina was excited by that, she thought the harp was cool.Once the show started, Marina was completely drawn in. Most of the music was accompanied by Warner Brothers cartoons. She laughed loudly and clapped after each one. During intermission, she walked up to the stage and looked closely at the instruments.
The second act included additional cartoons: Tom and Jerry, The Flintstones and Scooby Doo. She loved those as well. Once the performance was over, Marina lingered by the stage again. She definitely liked being so close!
