Detroit Symphony Orchestra

Today we went on a fieldtrip to the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. They have a special performance that they put on for kids to teach them about orchestra music, instruments and different composers. One of their favorite composers that they learned about was John Williams and they played one of his pieces from Indiana Jones. He also composed soundtracks for ET and Star Wars. The kids were complaining before we got there. They thought they would be bored but were willing to go to get out of doing school work. Both of them actually really enjoyed it. It definitely was a fun and successful fieldtrip.
