Ben's "End Of Year" Recital

Well, the school year is coming to a close and that means we're knee deep in going away parties and recitals.  Last night Ben had his "end of year" band recital.  The kids played great.  It's hard to believe that at the beginning of the year back in August none of these kids could play an instrument.  They've really come a long way this year.  Ben chose the trumpet as his instrument to learn, and at the beginning of the year he was very frustrated with it.  But he kept at it and around Christmas time it got easier for him and he started to enjoy it.  Here's some pictures from the recital.  And if you want to watch their performance here's a link on the school's website:  http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/48701279

Ben's music teacher Ms. Johnson.  Ben really enjoyed working with her.
