His black suit looks great!
Tonight, my 17 year old son is performing with his
high school Symphony Band.
This comfy auditorium, sure beats watching the
Marching Band on a cold drizzly November Friday!
Where have the years flown?
I swear it was just yesterday, that he was playing....
"Hot Cross Buns"!
"Hot Cross Buns"!
aawww, i know what you mean.....'lightly row' is the one we always joke about as the beginner song, and last night my oldest limelette had her high school concert band performance. so amazing to watch them blossom.
ReplyDeleteHi Limey,
ReplyDeleteI knew you, Signgurl, and Lisa, would all smile at this one...xo
Aww thats so sweet, G~man! Really...sounds like it was an awesome show.
ReplyDeleteGuess what? It's 8:16pm, PST, and my 55 is up already, hurray! Come over and see!
What a touching story. I'm already wondering were my babies went to.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cathy,
ReplyDeleteTime goes by,
In the wink of an eye!
Susie, thanks for posting before I went to bed...Your The Boss!
awwww this is so sweet and it makes me want to cry! My daughter is only 15 and I miss her already but she hasn't finished high school let alone moved off to college!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter no longer plays in the band but she does play the fiddle, she is a bluegrass guru!
Hope your Friday is an awesome one!
xoxoxo
Breazy? Are you an insomniac?

ReplyDeleteyou're right, i love it.
another great 55 baby...
you're so good at them now!
hope you had a fun night.

It is a happy thing to watch our own children's performence. I think you should take some pictures of your son and put it on this blog as i put my son's handsome pictures on EboynFriends.
ReplyDeleteThats so sweet. The years just pass without us knowing.
ReplyDeleteYou make 55 Flash look so easy!
JJ, It's only 55 words!
ReplyDeleteHow hard can that be?
Good Morning Queenie,
Thats cause it is easy!
Thanks for your kind words...Galen
Don't have any kids (that I know of lol) so I will have to relate to this as I watch my niece grow. Her big things are dance and ice skating. Both me and my sister tried to get her interested in band but that was not going to happen. Just within the last month I could not believe how much she has grown and changed. She is 12 going on 20.
ReplyDeleteOther than that I have a lot of good memories of band. One of the earliest songs they played in the school system I came from was American Patrol. A nice simple song with a strong presence for clarinet and snare drums I believe. I must say I kinda liked marking in the fall at the football games and occasional parades but symphonic back was a little easier to take. No worrying about the instrument freezing up on you.
Great 55 Galen.
Awwwww.......*tear* I know how proud you must be to listen to your child as he blossoms in music.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I tried my hand at the Flash 55 today.
ReplyDeleteoh GREAT !! I always admire a person who plays instrument.
ReplyDeleteWhich instrument does he play?
I play the violin. Maybe one day I can duet with him. :)
AWWW so sweet! :) You are so fond of them, your children. So am I so fond of my son, & he too plays the Guitar for the band on his annual functions!
ReplyDeleteYes indeed, it seems like yesterday, when you first held them...
& My son wouldnt eat till I sang him all the nursery rhymes his most favourite being ' Jack Sprat could eat no fat' & 'three blind mice'
Hey Galen , I still remember ALL the nursery rhymes I learnt in my kinder garten!
Enjoy the evening and the memories G! It does fly, my oldest turns 26 today, how the HELL did that happen?
ReplyDeleteGALEN!
ReplyDeleteTWIN PINES!
