BYU Orchestra Concert for Erika

Erika and her friends, Caitie, Heather and Sara all went to the BYU Symphony Orchestra Concert at the Harris Fine Arts Center at BYU.  They all have to go to a concert for their Orchestra classes and write a report about them for each term.  The concert was from 7:30 pm to 9:15 pm.  The Orchestra played Ballet Russe Suite that had 4 pieces, Capitol Suite which had 5 pieces and the Symphony No. 5 that also had 5 pieces.  Erika said the Symphony No. 5 lasted 47 minutes.  How does any composer write a 47 minute music piece.  After we meet Caitie's mom, then we all went to McDonald's for strawberry and shamrock shakes.  They all seemed to have a good time together.  Next will be Erika's Solo Ensemble at PHS.
