Band Camp in WI

Sam called me in December telling me that he had been chosen to perform in the Military Academy Assoc. national military honor band. He and four other kids got to fly up to a school in Wisconsin for a weekend and play with kids from other military academies from around the country.

So Cal boy was quite impressed with the snow that was everywhere. (They did get to play in the indoor waterpark in the evenings, though.)



They each had a chance to practice the music and then had to audition for their chairs on the first day. Sam ended up second chair, which was very exciting. They practiced as a group for a day, then had a concert the last day. A long weekend, but a good experience with exposure to kids from other schools. Silly mom, making him play an instrument...
