How tall is a double bass? How small is a piccolo?

You'll find the answers to these questions and more when the Fort Bend Symphony Orchestra presents "A Family Affair" concert at 2 p.m. this Sunday at the Stafford Performing Arts Centre.

In keeping with the "family" theme, the orchestra has selected an assortment of music beloved by children everywhere, from "Harry Potter" to "The Pink Panther."
