Tonight was Tanner's second band concert at Alder Creek Middle School. We (Quinn, Grandma, Tanner & I. Taryn was at work) got there really early, so while Tanner checked in in the band room, we had our choice of seats! We sat on the front row (more leg room and we'd get a good view). Sadly, we chose the wrong side of the auditorium--our view of Tanner was obscured by Mr. Winston, the band teacher!
Tanner's in the "Band of White", the beginner band. They played seven short songs. Tanner did a great job. In past years (before they were at the middle school), the 6th graders had band 2 days a week. Now they have it every day. You can see a great deal of difference in the quality of their performance. Tanner did a great job!
I tried to upload a video of one of the songs he played, but it's not working. I'll figure out how to do it later. Last concert I took both Grandma's little camera and Quinn's little camera (my camera is too big in such tight quarters) and one did better at capturing video and pictures. This time I just took Quinn's camera. I guess it was Grandma's camera that did the better job because these pics/videos were not as good as the last concert.
