Band

This school year I have 2 band player kids now. This is Daniel's 3rd year playing the clarinet and Natilie had band tryouts and got a sound on the flute the first time she put her mouth on it. The band director said "no doubt about it, she is a flute player" I don't have a picture yet of Natilie but will take one soon and post it. 5th grade band does not do a concert until Jan or Feb since they are just starting out. Daniel already had his first concert of 7th grade on October 12. Here at Copley schools band is a HUGE deal, out of all the schools this is what the Copley school district is known for, and about 95 percent of the band players play an instrument and play a sport at the sametime, so they are well rounded kids. I think both kids have been blessed musically, Natilie has seem to really taken off with her flute and LOVES every minute of it. Daniel is amazing on the clarinet, the band director did seat placing/testing and Daniel got first chair, mind you that this kid has never brought home his clarinet from school last year or this year yet (except over summer) and can still play anything in his band class. Daniel did a fabulous job at his concert along with all the other kids, and boy they need a bigger gym to play in, everyone and their brother comes to these things and the whole place is packed like sardines with people still standing..
Way to go Daniel and Natilie!
