First up was Quinn's preschool program. It was the sixth and FINAL time I watched the Learning Dynamics Christmas program and it was great. Quinn did a good job reciting his part, "We are getting ready for Christmas" and sang most of the songs. I took "the brothers" to school late in the morning so they could support Quinn and his program and Willie and Grandma came along as well.
The big boys also had a holiday performance, but for band. They did two assemblies at school back-to-back in the morning and then a program at the junior high in the evening. Elliott is in his third year playing the trombone. In fact, we just got a letter in the mail telling us that we have rented long enough, we now own the trombone. Hooray! Wyatt is in his first year of band and even though he initially wanted to play the saxophone, after trying it out, it was discovered that he was not only too small handed as an 8 year old, but in fact the alto sax is so heavy that it nearly tipped him over. He settled on percussion, and has struggled a bit being a first year band nerd. But, as the concert approached, he and I had a week of mini lessons and practicing at home, he finally started to get the hang of the fact that he is playing notes that are written on a page, not just to memorize. Hooray.
Both boys did a great job. I was very proud of them.
