Bully for Them!

We returned a little while ago from the oldest child's band concert. The wind ensemble played an awesome upbeat version of White Christmas, and did very well with Sousa's "Thunderer." I guess they ought to have played well, since our first chair clarinetist tuned them up, ahem, LOL. Proud parent syndrome, sorry.

The jazz band really kicked it, though. Only three clarinets and a couple of handfuls of wind and brass instruments, combined with five electric guitars, keyboards, and drums. Their rendition of Wooly Bully nearly brought the house down! They also did Light My Fire, which is not one of my favorites, but they did a good job.

Another fun result is that there are no jazz band rehearsals for my eighth grader until the end of January, which means two less mornings of leaving the house at 6:40AM. Yippee!
