2/28/17 Hail, Temple and Trombone

I was in the office getting ready to head home when it started coming down hard.

If you look closely you can see hail amid the big drops. Frozen precipitation is not common in Arizona. Thankfully it did not last long. I was able to bike home around a half hour later.

Happily Heidi was able to keep from getting too wet at her trip to the temple.

This evening David's band performed in concert. He was very nervous. He is a bit of a perfectionist and he recognized that his band has some less experienced kids in it. He also worried he would miss some notes. We assured him that the band is improving. It sounded better than last time. We noticed that the low brass sounded especially solid.

Here is David warming up. His teacher, Mr. Wakely, called David out before one of the numbers "On Wings of Eagles". Apparently David not only makes us laugh at home. His teacher noted that David called the song "On Wings of Bagles" or "On Bings of Wegles". The teacher noted that he would accidentally find himself referring to the song by one of the silly names. He seemed to appreciate David keeping class fun. Once again we enjoyed Gram, Papa and Becca B joining us for the concert. Having them along makes it feel like even more of a special event.
