'Tis the season... for school Christmas concerts! I've had the pleasure of attending two in recent weeks. One was at Noah's school (no doubt you'll remember him from last month's newsletter), and the other was a Christmas concert at the High School (my talented niece Breanna did me proud, too!)
The two concerts were quite different. The elementary school concert was... well... an elementary school concert. :) These kids are just picking up instruments and learning to explore the joys of music, some for the first time. In its own way it was very special. They were SO excited, and even their eyes were smiling... it was absolutely adorable!
Breanna is in the drum line at Kennett, as well as the stage band. This was a concert of a different sort altogether. It was enjoyable, not because the kids are particularly cute (except for Breanna, of course!), but because they have several years of experience behind them and they are all dedicated to their craft, something that was immediately evident from the first note.
Here's a difference between the two concerts. The younger kids practice faithfully, and their music (certainly not as complicated as the older kids') was completely appropriate for their level of expertise, but they just couldn't seem to get it together. It took a while for me to understand, but eventually it became clear. The younger students were so focused on their own music and instruments that they were oblivious to what others around them were doing. They each could have been playing the piece perfectly, but because they weren't together, you never would have known it.
The older kids, however, played with total dependence on their conductor. They watched every gesture of her baton and kept time with her indications. They listened to each other, and played as one instrument, instead of thirty individual pieces. The result was pure magic, and one of my favorite snapshots of this holiday season.
Our relationship with you is similar. In order to make sure your insurance program is suited to your needs, we need to be in one accord. As things change for you, we can adjust your policies to reflect that, provided we stay in touch and know about that new driver in your household or that beautiful piece of jewelry you just got for Christmas (that may or may not be a hint). We're committed to working together with you to see that your life is protected... and that should be music to your ears.
Have a wonderful Christmas... we hope it brings you a symphony of joy!

Insuring a rental car is a process that confuses nearly everyone. Most people don't consider this type of insurance until the issue is brought up by a sales representative at the checkout counter. Although rental insurance might sound like a good idea, it's important to know what is covered and what kind of coverage might already exist before purchasing it. It's best to call an agent and a credit card company before purchasing rental car coverage.
