Why I Love Living in Boise, #653

Boise Music Week

I've only known about Boise Music Week since 2008 - it has been in existence since 1918. That year I went to "Singin' In The Rain" with Sabrina and her friend Sara. Now I've enjoyed watching "Brigadoon" (2009) and "Bye Bye Birdie" (2011), watching the Silent Movie at the Egyptian Theatre (2008 & 2009), and the Public School Night Gala (2011). Sabrina has been playing in the Elementary Honor Orchestra (EHO) this year with Sara Smith and Maddie & Kayla Midgley and they were a part of the Public School Night Gala this year.

Every year, Boise has the first week of May filled with FREE music events. Daily Organ recitals at the different churches downtown, International Dance Showcase, Showcase Concert, Musical, Silent Movie (with live organ accompaniment), School Night, Church Night and Music in the Park.

The talent is amazing. The music is fun. I wonder what came first: the siren on the movie-house organs or the fires in silent movies?

Here is an unrelated picture to enjoy:

Hyrum is brushing Toto and Leo wishes he was also outside.
