I’m out. Deliberately Avoiding Your Call.

It’s been WAY too long since I bragged about The Joe, so brace yourself. Some serious mommy pride is about to unleash itself all over this blog.

Last night was the end of year pot luck and Jazz Night concert at Joey’s school. Each year, all the bands (Freshman, Stage, Concert, Symphonic and Jazz) get together for a potluck with their families and to pay tribute to the graduating seniors and then have one final jazz concert with Stage and Jazz bands. Each band votes on various awards in their class, stuff like “best wind player”, “most inspirational”, etc. Then scholarships are given out.

Well, my baby went and won THREE awards: Best Brass Player in Concert Band, Most Improved in Jazz Band and won a scholarship for one semester of lessons paid for by the Band Booster Club. EEEEK! I couldn’t be more proud.

Then of course, they rocked it at the concert. He technically isn’t part of Stage Band anymore since moving up to Jazz Band, but he had a free period during the Stage Band class and would go in and play with them just to be able to play. So he played with both bands last night. It was freaking amazing. Video will hopefully be uploaded later this afternoon, so of course I will post at least one song when that’s done.

OK, all done bragging. Carry on.
