Tony's marching band finally got to perform for the first time last week. The first game was cancelled due to the weather (actually, it was played on a Saturday, but the band did not play). As part of their performance, they put down their instruments and have dance moves to perform. I haven't seen it yet, but it reminds me of the OU band doing their dance moves. Brian went to the game last week and did capture a picture of Tony doing the dance moves.
This Friday the game is away and they perform in full uniform for the first time this season. We are not traveling to this game as it is a ways away.
It is fun to listen to Tony get excited about band this year. He purchased a new (better) trumpet and is taking lessons from one of the band assistants after school one day per week. Just this week, he practiced and tried out for a "stand out" part (like a solo, only it is a group of them that stand together and perform). He did not get it, but the fact that he worked hard and attempted it was an inspiring change. And his attitude after he learned that he did not get the stand out part really shows how much he has matured recently.
