Annaliese went on a field trip

with her school's 7th grade band

to perform

for the Middle School Band Festival

at the Edmonds Center for the Arts!

Nathan, my mom and I were able to watch

the performance =)

They did a great job performing their two pieces and

afterwards they attended a clinic at the Center to learn how

they can play even better!

Evan played the clarinet

in his fifth grade beginning band and orchestra concert!

Evan does most of his practicing

two days a week at school, so

it was great to hear him play!

Aaron, Sheldon's mom and I attended

their debut concert, where

they played songs from the beginning of the school year

and selections they have recently learned.

It was amazing to hear their progress!

They have a great teacher/director!

Annaliese played her flute

in the 7th grade band concert

at her middle school =)

There are so many band students that

there are two classes;
they only combine for concerts!

Sheldon and I were able to

attend the performance and enjoyed

all eight numbers including

Baby Elephant Walk

starring the flute section =)

Their director really makes band enjoyable!

It was amazing to hear the progress

in two years, from 5th to 7th grade band!
