'Twas the Night

I have been waiting for this night for a while.  We planned to go to the SF Symphony as a group to watch 'Twas the Night.  It was not what we expected, but still very good.  I thought that it was going to be the whole symphony performing, but it was only six brass players, a percussionist, organist, and the SF Symphony choir.  Lisa Vroman, who played Christine in the Phantom of the Opera during its long stint in the City, was the main performer.  They also had a guest pianist who happens to be the Ryan family's neighbor and piano teacher.  I had a great time despite the fact that it wasn't what I was expecting.

Having $11 champagne.  We should have  just snuck a bottle in.

I wanted a family picture since we never dress up unless we're on a cruise, and
who knows when the next time we'll be on a family cruise again.
