MIDDLE SCHOOL! For the love of Pete, how did this happen?
They are having music "try-ons". Not try-OUTS, but try-ons. Every 6th grade student has to be in band, orchestra or choir. Riley would have liked to pick D. None of the above, but he chose band. They have times set up where the kids can come in and "try on" all the instruments - see what they might have a natural aptitude for, which they like better, etc.
We will be lobbying very hard for the trumpet. I don't care if they already have 33 trumpets in a 99 person band. We have a trumpet. I'm not paying for a French horn or a tuba for one year of band!
