Symphony

I tortured Charlie this evening by taking him to his first symphony: a holiday performance by the Quincy City Symphony (no I didn't know there was one either) at the performing arts center at Quincy High School. Despite being at the high school we were still ridiculously under dressed (what, we weren't supposed to wear ripped jeans and fleece?? Who knew?) We only stayed until the intermission since it is a school night and I didn't want Charlie to be up too ridiculously past his bedtime, but he seemed to enjoy the performance, or at least to be intrigued by the conductor and the cellos. And I was excited to actually see the inside of the new Quincy High School, which has only been open since last fall, and is gorgeous, decidedly unlike any high school I have ever been in. So all in all, a fun night out.
