Thick Thursday

Had a really fun experience tonight (10/27), Halloween Concert with Mom!!! The director of the Salt Lake Symphony also the University of Utah Philharmonia, Mom had an extra ticket and I was eager to go!

The concert was FUN. The hallways on either side of the concert hall were decked out-grave yard with RIP & Here Lies.... type of gravestones. An underwater theme with fish, octopus, etc. And the costumes!!!! The entire orchestra and conductors were in costume. We saw a chicken, Indian chief, pirates, lobster, a ketchup & mustard combo, a gorilla, a princess, seeing all those costumes was half the fun! And I think half of the challenge might have been playing in those costumes or seeing the conductor over the top of someone costume :) Huge points for creativity, though!!!

The theme of the concert was "Music from the Depths" there was a variety of selections including "March to the Scaffold" "Little Mermaid Medely" and "Pirates of the Carribean" There was also an appearance by the U of U Ballet Company. The music did not disappoint, either and all the conductors were in costume and really into the fun spirit of the thing!

After, Mom & I stopped for "thick" (hence the blog title) shakes at Arctic Circle. I rarely get a fruit but tonight a strawberry banana shake was quite satisfying :) Thanks for a fun night, Mom! I love you!
