That’s a Wrap! 🙂🙂🙂 (Exclusive Sept 2023 Recital Recap)

BY KELLER BOYD, AGE 9

Today is another recital day for Sense & Color School of Music! It’s September 17, 2023.

This recital is at Kick Butt Coffee. Kick Butt Coffee offers a variety of snacks and drinks to choose from. The recital starts, people walk up. Music is filling the air! People order food. The food is yummy! So are the smells of the food. The music is good! There is a drum, piano, and microphone on the stage. You may watch the video to see clips of people’s performances. Not many because this recital is only 2 hours. Now you may be saying “but Keller, 2 hours is a while. Especially to a kid!” I get that. But some of the other recitals were up to 5 hours! So this is kind of short compared to the other ones. Anyways, let’s get onto another topic other than this. Well, what would the topic be?

I’m not sure. Might be the end. Kick Butt Coffee is awesome! Just watch the video and peace out!

(Note from Amy: The video below was filmed and edited by Keller. The interviews at the end are particularly adorable.)
