After 10 weeks of school, Carolyn's 5th Grade Band was ready for their first performance. It was very exciting - the kids were so nervous and even more excited to perform six - count them six - "songs" from their book. I love Carolyn's band director and the way she explained their marvelous progress. I guess it just put it in perspective: these kids went from first learning to put their instrument together (well, for Carolyn it is "insert mouthpiece here" - another reason I'm happy she's a brass player!) to learning three notes. Then they progressed to four notes and culminated their portion of the program playing five notes...complete with solos. Oh it was wonderful in a very "Music Man" sort of way....Yes, we are proud parents of our budding French Horn player.
