One of things that's so cool about 4th grade is that the kids start to "officially" play an instrument. Devin chose (after some tense moments of pondering the violin) the trumpet. He did really well with private lessons last summer and continued to do well this year. We decided to never harp on practicing and let this become something he WANTED to do. And, there are times he pulls the trumpet out to "practice" for us. My heart sings!!
Well, we finally hit the parental rite of passge known as "the first concert". An occasion that is marked with purchasing dress clothes your child doesn't own and stuffing yourself and all your extended family into a boiling hot auditorium. And at the end of it all, you are beaming with pride over how amazing your kid was. Because you just KNOW that was HIS trumpet that sounded so beautiful in the middle of the 50 kid band.
I think he was a little nervous, but he did very well keeping that in check. And look how handsome he is in his dress up clothes!!
