Tonight was J's 6th grade band concert. He plays the alto saxophone. It was a typical middle school band concert. They managed to play together. There were only a few times when the band was supposed to be silent, but one person took an impromptu solo. There was a fun song played by all three grades about the revenge of the dust bunnies, with a live vacuum cleaner at the end. They performed in their gym and had the performing band in the center, and the two sitting bands were in the back of the room seated in chairs. J fidgeted like a 6th grader. He whispered to classmates while other bands were performing. He couldn't stop talking about how much fun the evening was.
