Orchestra Link Up

I rarely chaperone field trips because school buses are noisy and other people’s kids are obnoxious. But sometimes my kids’ field trips go to places and events I really want to see. Case in point: Seattle Symphony.

The symphony’s Link Up program provides classroom curriculum before the day of the field trip to prepare kids for what they’ll see and hear. Then they attend an interactive version of an orchestral performance.

I took this photo when we first arrived, but the orchestra played to full house of third to fifth graders on that day. And the audience wasn’t even obnoxious.
