Aaron’s Band Concert
So I’m catching up on some stuff that should have been done in late May / early June, if we hadn’t hightailed it out of Illinois so fast after school ended.
Aaron is a member of the District 73.5 beginner band, and this band won the 2006 John Philip Sousa Foundation Sudler Cup award for excellence. This award covers the full band, including the beginner band that Aaron belongs to, all the way up to the elite Symphonic band.
So in honor of this award, the band had a concert during the last week of May, and we recorded portions of it.
Here is Aaron’s band playing three selections of music [MP3]. This is an MP3 file, so you can download it but you’ll need an MP3 Player to listen to it (hopefully your computer already has one). If this works out well, I may post other MP3s from the concert.
BTW as I was writing this post, Aaron received a letter from Illinois Congressman Louis Lang congratulating him on his class’s Sudler Cup achievement. We, of course, are very proud.
Oh, I guess I should mention that Aaron plays Trombone.
