What an exciting day! Jacob's band along with some other District 11 elementary schools were able to participate in Air Force Band day. Some of the member from the Air Force band donated their time to come and teach D11 band students. First they were broken up by instrument and given a group lesson. Since I was a chaperone, I was assigned to the french horns. I learned a lot actually but was pretty bummed I was with Jacob in his trumpet class.
Afterwards, they came back together as one large band including AF band members to work on their concert music. The AF band also played a lot of their own music as well. What wonderful musicians they are. It was such a motivating experience - for Jacob but also for me too. It definitely made me want to get my trumpet out and start practicing right away. Who knows maybe I will!
