The Gift of Music

Makala is in Band again this year. They got the opportunity to play at one of the Middle School football games yesterday. They had a lot of fun. Originally, she was playing the french horn, but her director asked her to give the tuba a try, because they needed more of them. She tried it, but decided she wanted to go back to the french horn. But first, her director had to show everyone how much better the tuba section was with her, than without her. He made them play with her, and without her and then with her, and without her again, just to prove how good she was at it. Yeah, she stayed with the tubas. Her director made a point to tell me how impressed she is that Makala made the jump so easily, and how quickly she picked it up. Kathleen and I went to the game. They really did sound awesome. Way to go, Makala!
