6th Grade Band Concert

On October 17th the 6th grade class had their first band concert. This photo shows them all hard at work. They did a great job for being their first one. I might add that all of these kids are in the same classroom too. They had to do some shuffling of teachers at the end of last year. The district lost more then they could replace. Lizzy's teacher last year moved to Port Alexander. We have hopes to run into him and his family again. Since they are in our "neck of the woods".

So as you can see Lizzy is using a different hand in the photos. She got her cast off just the week before. She had been practicing with her left hand but in a matter of a few days was able to do a bit of switching. Pretty impressive if you ask me. She definitely gets her musical ability from Chris' side of the family. Her grandpa Ken played trumpet and Chris says he gave it a go when he was around her age. So she has the music gene in her. Not to forget her Uncle Eric one of the greatest drummers I've listened to. And I'm not being biased because he's family.
