Cody has been playing his trombone 1 hour a week, for the past 20 weeks after school. A few nights ago we were invited to his first beginners band concert. When the band initially started there were 50+ children. The night of the concert the number had dwindled slightly, with only 6 kids remaining. Thank goodness the kids all played different instruments LOL. Cody walked out on stage, his face beat red from nervous perspiration. They took their seats and started playing. I honestly had no idea what they were playing, it was that bad LOL. The instructor stopped them, told them to take a deep breathe and relax and start over. Then it was like magic, a song from six beginning band student's emerged. It wasn't great, but I could tell it was a song. I heard some snickering and laughing but My heart filled with joy, and my eyes blurred with tears. Only a mother could have been proud of that performance.........and I was.
