The school year is close to over. That also means that Wayne's education at Glover School is coming to a close. This afternoon he had his last middle school concert.
Miss Newton, the band and jazz band director gave the 8th graders corsages. When she started teaching, they were her very first class of 4th graders.
Cole is also in the jazz band.
Wayne has a nice trumpet solo here.
Wayne and Cole are also both in the big band. (Cole is in the chorus as well. I didn't get very good pictures or video of the chorus.)
Some of the 8th graders pose with Miss Newton (on the right). She looks young enough to be one of the students.
The good news is that in high school, the music department is under the care of Dr. Doncaster. She has done great things and I'm sure Wayne will learn a lot with her as a teacher. The high school has been short on trumpet players for a few years now and she has been eagerly awaiting his arrival!
Wow! Great solo by Wayne! And, I thought Wayne looked very handsome with his spiffy dress shirt, sports jacket, and corsage.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of handsome, how about that Cole! Love his new haircut as I can see his beautiful eyes!
I was proud of both of those boys!! And it was very special that they performed that same Mexican Tiger song for Mom at a house concert, with Wes on guitar and Heather on bongo drum...it was even better acoustics than in that big gym.
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to believe 8th grade for your oldest is almost over. Yikes.
Love, Joanie
Bravo Wayne & Cole!!
ReplyDeleteWayne looks so grown up, both of them do. I think the quality of what they are doing is GREAT!
