Charlie's band recital

One final band recital for Charlie and this time, it's actually at his new middle school - which is actually Graham's school.  I love how the elementary school get their kids prepared for middle school. So far, they have sent a school counselor from the middle school to the elementary school. And this week, there's a field trip for the elementary school to visit the middle school!  And during the summer, there's also 6th Grade camp and pool party!

Okay, quick photo of Charlie. He actually pushed Graham away!

Charlie is very proud of his hair-do.  He insisted that Daddy fix it up for him.  And look, he is smiling and showing some teeth! He is finally learning to do that after that photography session at the golf club last weekend:

OMG, I can't believe this.  Instead of sending Charlie at 6:30pm, we have left the house and I was going to drop Charlie off early at 5:30pm.  Oops!  So, in order to kill some time, we decided to check out this little park where we were recently told that there's a small golf course.  Here it is!

It's only a few dollars to play his little 5-hole course (there's two par 4s and three par 3s) and there's actually an honor box on the side. Ha! I wonder how many people actually pay to play.  The course is in decent shape.  It's right next to the train tracks!

Here's Charlie doing his best Elvis impersonation, as he is all dressed up:

This kid is too much!

Okay, after spending some time in a fancy supermarket, we finally make it to the school's gym.  Graham is already on his phone while waiting for the band students to set up. Ha!

Sounding pretty good!  The 5th Grade got to actually play this tune with the entire middle school's band members!

I'm so glad Charlie wants to continue playing the clarinet in Band for middle school next year. Yay!

Charlie gets a hug and a kiss from Daddy.  Bobby showed up late because he had a phone interview at home:

Proud Daddy moment!

Yay for Charlie!

Let's hope both boys keep up with their music!  I'm still trying to get them to make audition tapes for their summer Music camp. They are both somehow not interested in participating anymore - not wanting to be on stage, etc.  Let's see what happens in June!
