In fifth grade here in P city, the kids get to pick an instrument and join band, or orchestra. Jonathan's first choice was flute. Enough kids were interested in flute this year that the teacher had to ship most of them off to clarinet. Somehow, Jonathan still ended up playing the flute.
Last night, he had his first fifth grade band performance. He can play "Jingle Bells" like a pro. Well, maybe not like a pro. But he looks good.
And let me just conclude by saying that there is very little in this world more culturally uplifting than the band concert put on by a group of kids who have all been playing their instruments for about three months.
Except maybe the orchestra concert that happened a half hour later.

Grandma enjoyed the concert - but was secretly glad we didn't have to stay for the 6th grade!
