Charlie's Spring band recital

I don't hear Charlie practice at home but he seems to be doing quite well in band. At one point earlier in the school year, Charlie mentioned that he didn't want to be in band anymore.  Thankfully I haven't heard any of those complains anymore.  I think it was because he had to do a practice log every week and he was constantly overdue on them! He hasn't needed to do anymore recently (or so he says), so maybe that's why he hasn't been complaining.

During the concert, the band director mentioned about all the previous trips that the band entourage has taken. They are going to Disneyland this year.  I believe two years ago, they even played in London! Oh, and they were also in the Rose Parade one year.  Hopefully these exciting trips will at least keep Charlie motivated!

It was a bit tricky to spot Charlie as he was blocked by another clarinet player.  But I thought the 6th Grade band sounded pretty good!

Family we-fie :-)
I believe the school band trips happen in 8th Grade so he has 2 more years to get there.  Well, technically, school is ending in 2.5 more weeks! Or I think the boys said - in just over 3 more Friday.  Ha!

Haven't really figured out what to do with them yet.  I'm thinking some golf, back to some archery, maybe pickle ball, and as much as they hate it... most definitely sorting out the house once and for all!!!
