Heinz Family Part 2!

Both boys had their holiday concerts this month, and they were such special nights to witness. Leo was up first, performing several songs with his class. One of them was O Little Town of Bethlehem—sung entirely in Latin—which was absolutely amazing to listen to. I’m always surprised by Leo in these moments. He can get so nervous and anxious about being the center of attention, yet somehow he completely thrives when he’s standing in front of a crowd. And this was no small crowd—the entire gym at Roncalli High School was filled.

Bodhi’s concert followed a few days later. He performed two songs with his band class and then sang two more with the sixth-grade choir. As a percussionist, Bodhi really stood out—he had several important parts to play in the holiday pieces, and he handled them so confidently. He did such a great job, even though I think he’s pretty relieved that he won’t have to sing in front of a crowd again for a while.
