I have only a couple organizations I volunteer with anymore. I use to volunteer left and right with my photography. I learned two things-one, I could find a way to get burnt out quite easily; two-not everyone appreciates your time and efforts. I don't say this to discourage anyone from volunteering, in fact, I encourage it! Volunteering your time is the most rewarding thing I feel fortunate enough to do. There are days, or weeks where it feels overwhelming when I have that "one extra thing" to do. However, I have always walked away feeling better about myself when I give a little of my time to someone else. Especially organizations which can make such a difference in other peoples lives. One of those organizations is the Music City Youth Orchestra in Nashville, TN. An incredibly talented group of high school students who will blow your socks off when you pay the modest ticket to attend their performance. Check out their website for their next performance date and time:

I began my involvement with Music City Youth Orchestra over a year and a half ago. I serve on their Advisory Board, and I take photos at their concert which I give to them for their use. I put together a video of the video and photos I took the other night. Hope you enjoy it!
