December Days - 12.8.10

We've spent most of the last few weeks focused on all the boys' basketball games, but tonight was Makela's turn to take the spotlight.  We haven't been around a lot of middle school bands in our days, but the band program at Clay Middle School is very impressive.

Makela plays the clarinet and seems to really enjoy being part of something bigger than herself.  She loves both her band teachers and always has fun stories to share with everyone at home.

Tonight the entertainment was great on stage, and enhanced by the brothers in the audience.  Whether it was Caleb goofing around and shouting to Makela from the audience in an attempt to both embarrass her and make her smile or Kyron dancing to the songs, everyone had a great time.

Quote of the night came from Kyron though after the 8th grade band finished warming up.  He simply turned to his mom and in a not very quiet voice said "That sounded terrible!"
