Proud Parent Moments

 
 
Seth's spring band concert was on St. Patrick's Day. We loved it. He is in the Honors Band and they recently participated in the regional Music Performance Assessment (Festival). They received "STRAIGHT SUPERIORS WITH DISTINCTION" which means a perfect score by all four judges. Only two bands over the entire three days of MPA judging received that score. We are proud of him and his hard work.
 
 
Joel participated in the Pinewood Derby this past Saturday. His car came in last in every heat but just look at how awesome it is! He did an excellent job of designing and building his car with very little help from anyone. I told him that his uncles always had the coolest cars at the Pinewood Derby and they never won either. We are proud of him too and all the hard work he put into his car but we are especially proud of his great attitude and sportsmanlike conduct.



Here's one of the pieces that Seth's band played for the benefit of Grandparents and any other interested parties.

So awesome, all of it! That was a great song and I can imagine how great the rest of the concert was.
Joel's car is pretty sweet, Jack thinks it looks really fast. :)

Thanks so much for posting this, Jill. I love seeing what the boys are doing . . . and hearing it, too!
