Trans-Siberian Orchestra

If you EVER get the chance to see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra in concert, do whatever you can to see them. They were in Richmond, VA last night and put on a mind-blowing, multi-dimensional show that was part classical concert, part rock concert, part laser light show, part broadway. I didn't really know what to expect but know that I have become a huge fan of the music that they weave together. Their history is interesting, their performance remarkable.

On the way home, I asked both kids what they thought of the whole show. My daughter (11) simply said, "AWESOME!" A similar reaction was held by my 13 year old son. He especially liked the lights and the pyrotechnics.

You can check out the band at their official web site:
