School Band Performance

Cole's favorite subject in school is Band. He is getting an A+. He has actually been talking about going to music school when he graduates from high school. He says he wants to go to music school and also be an author/publisher. I guess in a few years we will see what he does.

This year he decided to start in beginning band in the percussion section. He was invited to try out for concert band but decided that instead of two band classes he needed to get extra help in math. He plans to try out for next years jazz band this spring. He is going to start back at his drum lessons in April so he can learn how to play jazz drums. Cole's teacher Jennifer is outstanding and is known for her amazing band program. She has a successful program and makes band class really fun for the kids. They sound really good for 1st year band students.

The first video is sort of long but Cole had a few solo sections he had to try out for. The second one shows him playing the bells. In band class he has learned to play multiple percussion instruments. At home he practices his bell music on the keyboard, this has taught him how to play the piano.
