5th Grade Christmas band concert

Jessica had her first band concert on December 5th. It was scheduled at the Junior High but due to some scheduling mess up it had to be done at the Middle School.

When the school year started Mr. Barton had sent home a note about band and the requirements. In his letter he talked about the concerts and requested that the front row flute player were pants. So I went out and got Jessica some nice black slacks to were. She was really upset with me because she was the only girl not in a dress. But at least no one could see up her dress like some of the other girls sitting on the front row.

Jessica had said the concert wouldn't be long, and she was right. The whole concert lasted 10 minutes, from start to finish. Of that 10 minutes there was about 5 minutes of music. The band played 5 or 6 short numbers including "Good King Wenceslas ", "Jingle Bells", and "Jolly Old St. Nicholas". The band did a great job.  Mr Barton is a wonderful teacher.

I was really proud of Jessica and how good she is getting on the flute. I really hope she continues to enjoy it.
