The school music program's biggest fundraiser is a dinner/dance event held at our local Radisson Hotel. This is a fun event and although it was a lot of work for me, as a committee member, it is worth it to see how much fun Mateo has dancing up a storm. He definitely gets that from me!
Mateo and his friend, Malachi decided to wear fedoras.

One of the biggest money-makers at the event are the gift baskets that we put together with donations that we get. They are auctioned off or raffled. Anna and I baked cookies that were put into a few baskets. Unfortunately, I didn't take a picture of the baskets once they were made but here are the cookies that I baked. I had a lot of trouble with the Royal Icing this day. I just couldn't get it to the right consistency but I guess no one noticed because our cookie baskets actually had quite a few raffle tickets!
Speaking of the band music program, a few weeks ago Mateo participated in a Festival at his school. This is a completely voluntary event where the kids play in front of a judge (either in a solo or duet) and they get rated. Mateo and his buddy, Aaron played in a duet and they got a Superior rating (one level below the top rating of Command). We are so proud!
Congratulations Aaron and Mateo!
Don't be nervous, guys!
We did it!
