Levitt Pavilion Children's Concert Series



Last night we decided to go to the Levitt Pavilion for the Children's Concert. It is the last one of the summer we will be able to attend. I saw Gary Allegretto's name on the schedule, and didn't know who he was, but we decided to go any way. It was a beautiful summer evening. We lucked out on a great parking spot and then joined the fun. We didn't know it was going to be such a unique evening. Gary Allegretto is with the Harmonikids non-profit organization dedicated to providing harmonicas & the joy of music to children. The program gives harmonicas to children and teaches them to play simple songs through easy instruction and gentle encouragement. Harmonikids' goal is to provide a fun, interactively educational, and entertaining diversion.
The kids are suppose to be 5 and up to try and learn. Gretta did an okay job, but I actually think Eric enjoyed it the most. Gretta was great at telling her dad to listen to the conductor. After Gretta attempted for a while I took Gretta to the nice play ground next to the pavilion. She had a great time riding the train.
This family even was followed by a girls night out to celebrate Kerri's birthday at Cheesecake factory. It doesn't get much better than this. I love summer evenings!
