Music in the Park

This summer Trevor joined our Community Band.  There are about 20 members with the youngest member being 12.  After the first practice, he was very discouraged but with our encouragement and the directors willingness to take 45 minutes to work with him one-on-one with the song that was giving him fits he decided to continue.  Not only was he willing to continue, but he is anxious for the next practice!  They will be performing five times throughout the summer playing some pretty upbeat songs including When I'm 64, Chicken Dance, Doo Wah Diddy, Gumbo Limbo, Star Spangled Banner and several others. 
One picture is of Trevor and one of his closest friends who plays percussion with the Community Band.  The photo on the right shows Trevor playing trombone and the person on Trevor's left is the band director that is currently teaching in Green Lake but was the band director at the high school that I graduated from.  His daughter plays baritone and has been a great encouragement to Trevor as well.
