Brendan played the saxophone this year in 5th grade band. There was supposed to be a concert around Christmas time but due to the weather it got canceled. So unfortunately for us, we had to wait until the end of April to hear him play. No, really, APRIL because we never ever hear him play (practice) at home!
The band as a whole sounded great! Then they played "We will, we will Rock you" and each person in band got a turn to stand up and play that part SOLO. Brendan kept standing . . . which signaled he was going to give it a try. Not everyone did the solo. I was so nervous for him. Kevin and I kept looking at each other with questioning eyes.
But Brendan totally ROCKED!!! He sounded so awesome! We were so proud of him!
Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt B are our witnesses. We are not just prejudice because he is our son. He has chosen to not continue with band next year in Jr. High. We wish he would but we know we can't force him to. If only I can convince him to play that solo one more time for my video camera.

What a great picture of Bren!!!
The concert was so nice. Both bands were very, very good. But our Brendan really did the best. He played so well. I've tried to get him to play a tune for me a home, but he just wouldn't "toot his horn". Due to crossed wires we almost missed the concert. We were at his school waiting for the doors to open. Little did we know, the concert was actually being held at Matthews school. We sure got there in the nick of time. Good thing, because Brendan and his band was great.
Go Bren!!!!
Please join the band again.
Love, Grandma
