It just keeps getting better
Last year I blogged about my son’s trumpet playing and how painful noises turned into music… sweet music. Well it just keeps getting better! This year he was chosen to be on the “Honor Band”. Which means that he’s been rewarded for being good at what he does.
This past weekend, we were invited to preview a concert that he would be having in a statewide competition. The schools aren’t competing against each other, but it’s still a competition because each school is ranked on how well they perform. My son’s middle school band was awarded 1st (along with other schools)! But they’re good! They’re really getting good. 1st is equal to a rating of “Superior”. It was a joy to listen to where they’ve come. It brought a tear of joy to my eyes and I couldn’t have been more proud.
And now, for your listening pleasure, I give you……… My Son (and his classmates)!
Hi Nancy! Boy they ARE good! What grade is this? I can see why you’re proud!

Holy Moly, that is my grandson! Amazing! Wonderful!
SuZen, thank you! He’s in 7th grade. The honor band is a mixture of 7th and 8th graders. There were even better songs, but I chose the shortest one for this post.
That sounded awesome! It’s great that his playing improved so much…they were great!
