excellent !!! ...

Donny ... what instrument did you play in the orchestra?

Last Wednesday my wife and I went to NY to see our 10 year old grandson in concert ... He just started playing trumpet in school in September ... his 4th grade had a full band - strings, brass, woodwinds, etc. - of all kids who started playing in September ... they played the ever popular "Hot Cross Buns" and "Jingle Bells" ... I was really impressed with how they had advanced in such a short time ... a tribute to them and their music instructors ...
The 5th grade band played more involved pieces, and I was impressed with them as well ...
The chorus, which our grandson also sang in, did tunes from Coldplay to Lennon, and lots of stuff in between ... very well done ...

Music is alive and well in the kids of Mamaroneck Avenue Public School, NY !!!
