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.<\/p>\n
Aaron is a member of the District 73.5 beginner band, and this band won the 2006 John Philip Sousa Foundation Sudler Cup <\/a>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.<\/p>\n So in honor of this award, the band had a concert during the last week of May, and we recorded portions of it. <\/p>\n Here is Aaron’s band playing three selections of music [MP3<\/a>]. This is an MP3 file, so you can download it but you’ll need an MP3 Player <\/a>to listen to it (hopefully your computer already has one). If this works out well, I may post other MP3s from the concert.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Oh, I guess I should mention that Aaron plays Trombone. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 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.
