HANG IN THERE. High School Bands are very different from those elementary and middle school years! After the Vespers Service this week featuring a lot of great music, my husband and I discussed that we each thought the same thing at the beginning of the band section of the night. Why were they playing with a CD? and then after a moment we realized that it was the band alone! All that practice over the years finally pays off in the end!Amynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223331007274443185.post-24311520741253098052009-12-17T12:24:04.681-05:002009-12-17T12:24:04.681-05:00You've heard my story about Michael practicing...You've heard my story about Michael practicing his saxaphone unbeknownst to me and I thought the smoke alarms were going off. I raced around the house looking for the fire!<br /><br />I agree.

I watch those poor directors waving their hands around, seemingly trying with all their might to pull those kids along with them, and think they must be exhausted by the end with the sheer effort required.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04479177289466582728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223331007274443185.post-30354068805309741572009-12-17T10:32:36.808-05:002009-12-17T10:32:36.808-05:00Having recently attended an elementary school conc...Having recently attended an elementary school concert by my clarinet-playing 10-year-old son, I was struck by the fact the tempo of all the songs is that strange sort of half-speed that you get when the college pep band gets really drunk mid-way through the second half of the game and starts to play <i>Louie, Louie</i>. So, yes, God bless 'em for doing this year in, year out! (A friend of Charlene)Wordherderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02291138466451594867noreply@blogger.com
