The Gina's Flutes Instrument Petting Zoo at Vail! Bravo was a big success. The Philadelphia
Symphony was warming up for their Peter and the Wolf concert while we set up. When the
gates opened, we were delighted that so many families came to try out the instruments. Some
kids selected one instrument--one boy kept coming back over and over to try out the alto
saxophone. And actually, he was quite good at it! And his puffed out cheeks made us all smile.
Some kids tried to get 4 notes out of just a flute headjoint. Some very small kids wanted to try
out the very large euphonium which was a cute picture. And some kids wanted to try and feel
every instrument. Even some parents couldn't resist giving the instruments a try! All enjoyed
the concert that followed. There is something about orchestra music--the blending of many
sounds into one, that gives us energy and excitement when we hear it. Music is interesting--it
touches people of every age! Head to our Facebook page to see some pictures!
