Matching Tracksuits

I forgot to post this…

And given how I feel tonight, I just thought posting something positive was the way to go.

E had the chance tonight to have his newly-acquired trombone skills evaluated. We drove to Dorman High School, saw hundreds of other kids who were being evaluated as well,

and made our way to room 9 (actually B117–not sure why they re-numbered the rooms).

The Boy walked in, performed his solo piece perfectly, and walked out with the scoresheet to prove it.

His band director took a picture and told us that students who earn a “Superior” rating must, simply must, go out for ice cream.

“We were ready for the rating,” I told Mr. K. “We bought some earlier today!”
