Timothy is a member of the school jazz band and beginning band. When he stood up to play an improv solo I felt a flutter of nervousness for him. Silly me, he was fine. Richard’s parents were in town and saw the concert, too. How nice.
Mr. Vought, the middle school band and orchestra teacher whom we love is leaving to work at a high school next year. We are so sad to lose him. He made middle school more bearable. Our boys called him a favorite. Now I know why people write sentimental songs about band leaders. Maybe I need to go listen to some.
