Snapshots of Thanksgiving- Day 12

Day 12:

I am subbing for 6th grade band today! It has been a blast. I did the math in my head and I started playing clarinet in 6th grade band 16 years ago… Wow. It made me feel even older when I told the percussion class that their director started when I was a freshmen in high school in 1999 and they told me that they weren’t even born yet.

I am so thankful for the new crop of young people taking an interest in music. I am also grateful to the dedicated band directors that put up with crazy band kid antics. It really does form a little family and somehow that “band hall smell” will also hold a sentimental place in my heart.
