Hear The Music?

We sure did.  As a matter of fact we heard it three times this week. We attended our very first middle school band concert ever. Although Mackenzie is now in the high school band you may recall that she participated in middle school chorus rather than band. It was amazing to hear how far along these sixth graders have come considering most of them had never played an instrument prior to August.

The saxophone section was introduced to the audience.

The high school band performed their annual Prism concert three times this week. This year Mason was able to see the daytime performance thanks to a band field trip.

The drumline performed Jamaican Me Crazy.

The drumline also performed under the black lights which is always an audience favorite.

The ending of the Prism concert is always a little bittersweet. It is the last time the entire band will perform this year's halftime show.

While the rest of the band had to stay behind and clean the auditorium the drumline got one last chance to entertain the audience as they exited.

The drumline still has a few more upcoming gigs but this week signaled the official end of marching season. This picture makes me smile. It was a great year for Mackenzie on the #4 bass drum. It will be interesting to see where she ends up next year.
