Our "little" drummer boy




Jacob plays percussion in the middle school band and this was his Christmas concert. He has had a small size drum set in his bedroom for years that he has banged on but this is his first year actually playing in a band. He had to try out at the beginning of the year and he made it in and now he is already learning to read music and we were sooo impressed at the recital. The 6th graders only did "pieces" of songs but they played 5 different songs and sounded wonderful! We got a kick out of watching Jacob and the other percussionists move around in the back to "trade" instruments each song. Drums are definitely his favorite but he also likes the bells. He got to play the drums for "Little Drummer Boy" and I couldn't believe that was my"little" boy up there:) Guess we really have a drummer now!!!
