Lukie Band Concert...

Tonight was Lukie's first band concert.  He's been playing the trumpet for about eight weeks.  It was fun to watch (and being only four songs, pretty short too)...I was surprised the band had almost 40 students, out of a class of around 75, that seems like a lot...

Lukie is in the back row, third from the right...

The four songs they played were:

1.  Hot Cross Buns

2.  Rolling Along

3.  Light Row

4.  Mozart Melody (which turns out to be twinkle, twinkle little star)

Funny moment when they went to start the second song...about half the kids were playing hot cross buns again...the director stopped them and turned to the audience and said "they really like hot cross buns" before starting again on the second song...

Lukie is above the director's head in the picture above...it was a fun concert considering that all the students have only been playing their instruments for eight weeks...you expect mistakes and roll with it...

The 5th grade band was required to watch the 6th grade band immediately after they were done (it'll be a discussion point in band tomorrow) and it was good to see how much changes after students have been in band for over a year.  There are mistakes, songs are still pretty simple, it's still a learning process...

Three fall concerts are done...
