Preteens really enjoyed Elf movie with music by the Charlotte symphony. I witnessed some guests upset by the small bag rule. Two people that I saw were made to take their not very large purses back to their cars. Inside, we saw quite a few with large bags. These guests should have been advised to go through the security line. This was a bit uncomfortable at the entrance.
Also, since thus was a concert geared to families with children, it would have been nice if the conductor took a little time at beginning of second part (after intermission) to show off the different sections of the orchestra, and have each section play a line or two of music independently. Our preteen, who has started flute, was disappointed to not be able to see any flutes...they were not even visible when the sections were introduced at the end.
