Dade's Fall Band Concert

First of all, I must apologize that the photos are so horrible. The lighting in the multipurpose room is horrible, and our seats were waaaaayyyy in the back.

With that out of the way, Connie and Carrie joined us for Dade's band concert. He's been playing the trumpet since 5th grade, and now that he's a 7th grader the concerts are actually quite enjoyable. He has band every day, so the kids get lots of practice. It definitely shows in their performance.

Although the concert lasted past the kids' bedtimes, everyone was quite happy to see Grandma and Auntie for a few hours. We tried to keep ourselves occupied in the crowd by snapping lots of silly photos.





Dade did a great job. We are proud of all he's accomplished over the last few years in band. He had to wear jeans for his performance because the dress slacks I bought him a couple of months ago were far too small. Yet another pair of unworn pants fallen victim to adolescent growth.
