She's a Rock Star!


Last night we went to Julee's last band concert of elementary school. What a great percussionist Julee has become in the past 3 years! I love that the band director has them switch instruments for each song. In this concert Julee played the xylophone, snare drum, timpani, bass drum, and the drum set.

Here you can see her ready to play the timpani (kettle drums).
Julee was asked to perform as part of a smaller group at the concert. Here she is playing snare drum.

We're off to see the wizard! Julee plays the xylophone for this number (she is standing to the left in the back row). It amazed me to see that she never actually looks at her music when she is playing.

We are excited that Julee has chosen to continue with her music and will be playing in the junior high band next year!

So I guess being the good mom you are, you'll have to get her a drum set to support her music career, huh?

Wow! Julee - Grandma and Grandpa listened to your songs - what an awesome way to be part of your concert. We could hear and see you and think you did a wonderful job. Love you - see you soon.
