Sophia Anderson

Sophia is SEVENTEEN. She’s in eleventh grade and doing very well in classes. She’s still taking private flute lessons and enjoying marching band followed by concert band. This year she really nailed her audition and made it into Wind Symphony. The concerts are pretty amazing.

She has some great friends as well! I haven’t seen them in awhile though, since marching band ended, so I hope they come around soon!

She’s doing really well in school, and enjoying most of her classes. I enjoy when she brings me pie or cookies from Foods class. This week she’s off with Wind Symphony to UNI for a clinic with some skilled musicians and she’s working on solo and ensemble pieces for State contest in April as well.

I am a terrible blogger, here or anywhere. Oh well.

Lexi is twelve, nearly twelve and a half. She’s in sixth grade and smart with some good friends. She’s playing the trumpet and taking private lessons, is in SOAR band in addition to regular band and recently got into Coe College Honor Band. Let’s hope this year she can actually attend and not catch an illness the morning of. She’s recently also gotten braces and we can already see them straightening out the top teeth. She needs to have another bottom tooth removed, which is happening this week. I think we’ll see big moves with her teeth on the bottom once that one is out of the way.

She’s stopped playing softball for Prairie and instead we enjoy a more leisurely softball season with Brian coaching her at Cedar Hills. It’s been fun to watch all the girls improve without the pressure of high competition in club ball, it’s been a really nice change. She’s getting private pitching lessons as well which is really helping her hone her skills. Hopefully she can strike some players out this season, that would be awesome to see.
