All through elementary school, she wanted to play the trumpet when she made it to middle school and could play in the band, but when she started band, she decided the sax was cool and not many people were playing it. And so she found her niche.
We had fun (NOT) shopping for this skirt today, by the way. Burlington Coat Factory saw two very frustrated ladies with not much time racing around trying to find a black skirt R liked and ANY white top that wasn't see-through or a polo shirt (she wasn't going to wear a polo shirt). It's a good thing she had this cute sweater at home. Disaster averted.
The songs they played (which she says were easy) were the old perennial favorites Hot Cross Buns, Old McDonald, Ode to Joy, and other beginner band songs. It was a good concert.
Afterward we went to Baskin-Robbins for ice cream with our old friends Tatum, her mom Chrisie, and the G extended family. Happy times.
