St. Patty's Day Parade!

We took Rowsby to watch Tim and the Sellwood Middle School Marching Band in the annual neighborhood St. Patrick's Day parade. She did really well and the band sounded great! 

Tim's Solo

Tim participated in the district-wide solo and ensemble competition today.  For middle schoolers it's not really a competition just a way to try it out and get feedback on their playing and technique. Tim played a piece for the orchestral snare (I think that's what he called it), did a fabulous job, and learned some things (ask him next time you see him!).

This picture is of him as the judge was talking about the orientation of the snare. Tim's jazz and band teacher came to cheer him on (you can see Mr. Arrayan's notes in the front of the shot). Well done, Tim!
