Cody had his OCMCO concert at the Segerstrom Concert Hall.
It was AMAZING!
The Stewart brothers, who started MCO, write, direct and conduct their music with an orchestra and choir, children's and adult.
While everyone is technically "non-professional" I'm sure many of them were at some point, and all are incredibly talented performers.
The children's choir had three songs they performed, two of which were in German.
It was hilarious listening to Cody all semester singing "German with a British accent."
But since Cody is pretty much always singing we all know a couple of German songs around our house.
I didn't get a lot of pictures because I didn't bring my good camera and because I was in charge of herding the kids around in their second of two performances. We technically weren't supposed to take any pictures inside, but I wish I would have! (I just took secret terrible videos of the ceiling:))
They have several stage changes and we had to get 60 kids up and down stairs in the right order and on and off at exact points in the music. phew!!
After their last performance we took them back to the holding room. Whoa!!
MCO expects serious discipline and they can get a little grumpy when they don't get it.
They also work to PERFECT their songs and expect a high level of excellence.
I kind of love it and hate it at the same time!
