Abby's First Band Concert

Abby has loved every minute of her first year of band so far. She couldn't wait until her first concert. I know I say this about every concert, but I just can't get over how much these kids learn in such to in such a short amount of time! I think at the time of this concert, the kids had been playing for about eight weeks.


This particular band concert in called a demonstration concert. The band directors along with the students show us the things they do in class to warm and breathing exercises.


Miss Benford featured the clarinets. (The metronome sounds off, but I think the clarinet section sounds great!)



The whole band playing "El Toro".



The whole band playing "Jingle Bells".

See, impressive! I am thrilled to be a band mom and that my kids are thoroughly enjoying band! I do believe the Lord has blessed me with some talented kiddos!

They sound great! Only a few minor squeaks but those really low notes(and the REALLY HIGH ONES) are harder to play on a clarinet. I'm impressed! Good job Abber's! That's a huge band btw.

I love that we can listen from so far away. Way to go, Abby! Happy band-momming, Jamie!
