COVID Band Concert

 

COVID style band concert.  We had to drop Axle off and then watch on line.  Luckily we live close to the school so we didn't have to sit in our car and watch.  (at lot of families did this because you had to pick them up right after they were done.)  Each grade played two songs.  This year Axel is playing the drums!  He seems to be enjoying the percussion more then the trumpet.   He is also playing the piano.  He has a portable key board that the school has let him use.  He still doesn't really practice a ton at home but seems to be learning how to read and play music.  I think it's pretty cool.  I don't remember any thing about how to read music.  (we almost dropped out this year from band but he was not practicing his trumpet.  The band teacher offered percussion in hopes that he would stay in band. )  So here he is playing the drums.  He did a really good job.  With the drums you really hear what he is doing.  Not like the trumpet where he blends in to the other trumpet players. Again a new way to experience things this year.    
There is Axel in the back with the grey shirt and mask on. 
Us watching from home.
