The Christmas concert by the Owen Middle School bands was last night. Eli plays percussion in the sixth grade band. Here is a video of the group (it's shaky, and I missed the first measure, but you get the idea). Eli's on marimba for this piece. He's in the back, against the wall, the left-most standing percussionist. Later he covered snare and bass drum. It was a long night (90 minutes) but fun.

May you have many concerts in your future...and am I ever glad that chapter in our lives is behind us! Early narration courtesy of Briggs?

Yes, the clammering is Briggs trying to find Libby. He was a lot more interested in finding her than he was in the music. We came separately because Eli had to arrive a little before the announced time. Libby won those honors. Briggs sulked through most of the program because we did not sit all together.
