Play It Now

Just a heads up that I will be participating in the Challenge of Music Blog Hop this weekend.  I don't normally post over the weekends, but this hop goes live on Saturday, March 1st, so be sure to stop by.  The hop is being sponsored by Erin at Tesori Trovati - check out her blog for the details and to follow all the hop results on Saturday.

And, as long as we are talking about music, I thought I'd share this from Tuesday night:


 
 
There he is...my favorite musician...participating in his first band concert as a clarinet player.  He's also wearing his first nice dress shirt and dress pants after much coaxing.  He's definitely a jeans and t-shirt kind of kid! 
 
He played violin last year (in 4th grade you only get a choice of vocal music or violin) and wasn't all that enamored with it.  Now that he's in 5th grade, there are more options and although he originally told me he wanted to choose the flute, at the last minute he changed his mind and opted for the clarinet.  After last night, he told me he wants to continue with it next year and I was pretty excited about that.  We'll see if that commitment lasts through the rest of the year and the summer LOL!
 
I know I'm terribly biased, but I think he looks pretty darned handsome in that photo!
 
Don't forget to swing by on Saturday for the hop - I've got some awesome stuff to share!

I don't post on weekends either, Miss Kelly. But this is an exception. I am so happy that you are joining in! I am still not even to the creating stage of mine yet. I am hoping that the Mojo flares up tonight! Yikes!
He is so very handsome. I would have guessed him to be older than 5th grade as well. My daughter is in 7th and plays the clarinet. So well that her director selected her as one of three students from middle school and h.s. to try out for the Wisconsin State Honors Band! If she makes it she will play at a two day event in Madison in the fall. I'm just so proud of her for trying! Looking forward to seeing what you create! Enjoy the day. Erin
