What I really wanted to say in that last post and forgot was how good the band sounded. The band director in our little school system is amazing at getting a great sound out of the students. None of them take private lessons, they just do band one hour a day. So I attribute their wonderful sound and solid musicianship to the teacher…he must be doing something right. I only have one complaint…the trumpet section needs to quit chewing gum during a concert! 🙂 What a hoot!
