Toot your own horn

This summer, three of the boys were blessed to be able to participate in a summer youth band program.  For FREE!  The only reason all four boys didn't participate is that the program was only open to 6th through 9th graders.

BG chose to learn trombone; JA chose to re-learn drums; and AT chose to learn to play saxophone.  They were also joined by a friend from church who is learning to play clarinet.  They practiced two hours a day, four days a week for four weeks.  At the end, they put on a concert for the public.  They played four songs - London Bridge, Early Bird March, Eagle Summit March, and Mouthpiece Waltz.  Mouthpiece Waltz is a special arrangement of the Blue Danube Waltz using mouthpieces.

Here are two pictures of our musicians:

If you can't tell, they are each "playing" their instrument.  We forgot to bring the camera so these are the only pictures we have.  They did sell a DVD which I purchased, but haven't received yet.  Hopefully, I can get some more pictures off of the DVD.
