Forget what I said about posting more videos
Hayley had a band concert this evening so I'm going to post pictures from that instead of more videos. Sorry to disappoint if you were expecting and wanting video clips. I stick my tongue out at you.
Hayley is a member of the 7th-8th grade honor band, and as such, had to wear special concert attire. This is her in her honor band outfit. She is allowed to wear black pants, but I am making her wear skirts. She rarely looks like a proper young lady, preferring sweatpants and sloppy t-shirts to even jeans and regular t-shirts. So it's nice to have her wearing a skirt to somewhere other than church.
This is her regular band, composed of all 7th graders. I think this is the first concert I've attended where I picked a seat with full view of my child. Yay for me!
This is the honor band. She sits way in the back and it's hard to see her.
And here she is, tooting her horn.
For a while, I wasn't sure that Hayley liked playing an instrument, but when Mr. Hanson invited her to be a part of the Honor band, she has suddenly appeared to enjoy playing music more.
Mom attended the event and I was glad that she was able to come (and that she found the school without incident--we are grateful for cell phone and GPS technology to help Mom avoid embarrassing directional mishaps). I was also glad that I had kleenexes in my purse because, once again, Mom indulged in her penchant for developing a bloody nose at inopportune times. Poor Mom!
The musical offerings of all the bands were joyous to behold aurally. It was a fine evening for music and the students should be pleased with their performance. Yay for band!
