Isaac is the third of our children to start band. He is jumping the gun ever so slightly by starting to practice now. He does not offically start band until next fall, but he's not letting a little thing like that stop him. Isaac is playing the clarinet. We picked it up from the music store last night and he has been practicing all afternoon.
When Nicko got his saxophone, he took it to his room, shut the door and played as quietly as he possibly could so no one could hear him. When Daniel got his trumpet, he pulled everything out of the case, blew into it a few times and then walked away leaving a trail of pieces from the living room to his bedroom. Isaac opened up his clarinet in the living room and followed me around the entire house while he 'practiced'. You may notice the music stand is in pieces one the couch behind Isaac. He was so excited to start playing, he didn't even take time to set up the music stand.
It always amazes me to see how different each child is. In a few years, we'll see what Alyssa's reaction to starting band will be.
