Day 22: Notes Swirl

Notes swirl through the air
toes tap against the floor
5th graders in their finest

Notes swirl through the air
breaths taken in tandem
5th graders at their proudest

Notes swirl through the air
bows taken and smiles on faces
5th graders feeling relief


Tonight I attended my daughter's band concert.  This is just the second concert she has had as a band student, but the difference between how this group of talented 5th graders sounds now compared to the fall is amazing.  They certainly earned their claps tonight as they played their hearts out.  I'm one proud Mama!
