This year is my parents' 30th anniversary! (Pearl, for anyone who is curious.) My dad has a trip to Peru planned for both of them (plus Edgar, as a sort of graduation gift) but also decided back at Christmas that he wanted to throw a concert for her. This put a lot of pressure on all of us, because we had to learn a bunch of music! Dad got a guy from his school to do all the keyboard stuff; he took care of mandolin, double bass, and bass guitar; Edgar took care of the rhythmic stuff; Clark did some guitar/bass/singing; and Nicoel and I got to do back-up vocals while also playing the violin and clarinet, respectively. WHEW!
Some of our practice shots:
The concert was pretty awesome! It was pretty hard to be sneaky and leave the house to rehearse, but as soon as the concert actually started, Mom forgave all of us. :D

What a great idea! I hope it went smoothly and that your mom loved it!
Mom LOVED it! You can *just* see her in a couple of pictures, front row, center seat. She was singing along and mooning at Dad the entire time. :D
