Last of the year. Where'd all that year go!?
Anyway, Boy is quite excited. He's really enjoyed band this year, and as opposed to Oldest, hasn't really had to be dinged about not practicing.
And even more interesting, at least to Dad-Who-Can't-Do-Music, over the past year I have noticed that he will occasionally set up his bell kit in his room and just play. Sometimes he plays his sheet music, and sometimes he just likes to improvise, and sometimes he tries to recreate something he's heard somewhere else. Doing something because you enjoy it is always preferable to the alternatives. Ars gratia artis and all.
So, anyway, it'll be interesting to hear how he does tonight.
