TMS Wind Ensemble Pre-UIL Concert
I might have mentioned this before, but I am SO proud of Jacob’s musical ability. He’s doing so well on trombone in 7th grade. He’s the first chair trombone in the top band at his school (so, yes, he beat out some 8th graders! Woo-hoo!). On Friday (2/22/13 – the night before I ran the Cowtown 10K), they had a concert at Byron Nelson High School to practice for their upcoming UIL contest. I don’t have all of the songs on video (I know, I know…can I claim brain fart for a song and a half?) and I didn’t video the sight-reading portion (which was also really cool and sounded great, and made me REALLY glad I’m not a band director), but you’ll get an idea of how awesome they are from this clip. Enjoy!
The actual UIL contest is March 5. Expect an update when we get results!
