8/19 Band Instrument Tryouts

So I am officially sick.  I took Tab's mom to the doctor and they told me to take her to the ER instead.  I spent the day at UAMS ER as the doctors worked to figure out what was wrong.  I was feeling so bad that I asked the nurse for ice chips, for me.  Tab came up to the hospital and away I went to pick up the children.

We had to be back up at Robbie's school for instrument try outs.  I had signed him up for drums, but they said they had enough drummers and he would have to pick another instrument.  So here we are. 

The younger boys were with us.  Things were about to hit the wall because I was already feeling terrible and they were bored.  Not a good combination. Then curiosity struck and things got better.

They began to wonder if this was something they could do.  The people in charge of the instruments were so kind to oblige Jonah and William and allowed them to try each instrument.  This was a great break for me!  I was very grateful.

Jonah with the baritone.

William trying the French horn.

All of the boys were able to make actual notes with the instruments. 

Robbie has chosen to play...... the TUBA!  WOW.
