This took place in May, btw.
Thanks to Youth City Artways and the Mundi Project, Shayden, along with his keyboarding class, got this wonderful opportunity to perform in a Monster Concert with a bunch of other schools. It was a really big deal, with tons of practices at the UofU and elsewhere, and I even had to pull him out of school twice! They performed for a few schools at Glendale Middle and I think he really learned a lot from this experience. 
His group played the theme to the Simpsons and at first I was like "what?" but it turned out spectacular!
Jon Schmidt came and performed and entertained the kids so much, Shayden was really impressed with him. He even played with his toes!
We got to go watch him that night at the evening concert. It was amazing with 10 pianos and about 60 pianists on the stage! It sounded fantastic and everyone did such a great job! We were very proud parents. Shayden is very musically inclined and I hope experiences like this will teach him that he does have great talents that he can develop further. Go Shayden!
