Simeon had his "Super Lesson" tonight at City High School. All the trumpet players for the Eastside band met together with an instructor from City High to have their 1st lesson. The lesson went very slowly starting with how to hold your lips, to blowing with your mouth held the proper way. Then they finally got to open their cases and take out the mouth piece, and practice blowing into it the right way. Then came the time to blow into their trumpets.
WOW a trumpet is LOUD!!!
Simeon is really excited to play the trumpet. He has 3 friends ( Nick, Sam & Keaghan) from his school also playing the trumpet and a total of 31 kids from thier school are in the band. It's going to be a BIG band.
Monday the 4 trumpet players at Lemme have their 1st lesson with the band director at their school. In a few weeks he'll have weekly lessons at the highschool with all the trumpet players.

Go Simeon! I hope you have some good ear plugs kari.
I don't remember if I told you or not, but Taylor just started playing the baratone. A very loud instrument too:) That's great that they are able to start band so early there. They don't start until middle school here.
