String Theory

D had his first orchestra concert the other day and was very nervous beforehand. Not only was he worried about performing on stage, but he had to "dress up" and was worried about what he was wearing. We tried to get him to dress up and wear a button down shirt, but he was convinced that his friends would laugh at him. So he wore a short sleeve knit shirt instead. Within seconds after arriving, he was wishing he had dressed higher, rather than lower. (Do you remember how hard adolescence was?) The good news is, by the end of the evening he didn't care anymore and the concert was fun. He is the cello in the front row, middle.
