Avie started band this year. When she went to try out all the instruments, she really wanted to play flute because she liked the way it sounded or trumpet, but then during her try outs she was not recommended for either of these instruments because she couldn't make a noise on them. So she decided to retry on both of them. She also got to try the drums and tuba and the retries as well. But after he retry, she was still recommended for trombone, so she decided to play the trombone, just like her daddy! After a few months of trombone, she was able to make a noise on the trumpet, so we told her she could still switch to trumpet, but she said no that she wanted to play trombone now. Of course, Jarad got rid of his trombone from high school about 2 years ago and I still have my trumpet, so we were hoping she'd pick trumpet. Archer also gave the trumpet a try, once we got it tuned up again and he did a great job with it, so maybe he'll decide to play trumpet!
Avie played in her first band concert tonight and she did wonderful! We are so amazed at how well the combined band from Fellows Elementary and Meeker Elementary sounded tonight considering many kids could not even play a note back in the fall. Amazing! There was a song called "Along came a Spider," where the kids got to stomp and even scream during the song, which was fun! And then they finished with the Star Wars song where the band director pulled out a light saber to conduct much to our surprise! The kids loved it and so did we!
We are so proud of Avie! And she said she would like to continue to play trombone next year, so we are excited about that!
