The concert was, by far, the most wonderful thing I've ever been to. Ok, I've not been to alot of concerts, but this one just had to be one of the best of the year. Of course, the fact that my daughter was in the band, playing the trumpet, most likely has a big influence on my opinion. But we won't mention that. It was beautiful. Let's just leave it at that.
In all honesty, I was truly amazed at what this band instructor had done with sixth graders who had only been playing their instruments since the end of August. That man must have the patience of a Saint.
Chickie loves to play the trumpet, and loves everything about being in the band. She is, at least at this time, planning on being in it next year as well. The 7th and 8th graders played as well, and it we remarkable to listen to the progression of each grade.
I'm finding myself looking forward to the next concert which will be in the spring.
It's a good feeling when you see your child really excited about something. Just looking at her face make having to listen to First Rockin' Christmas 3,786 times worth it.

I can't wait until my kids get involved in more extracurricular stuff! The four year old has a Christmas program next week. I can't wait to see all of those little cuties sing!
