Everyone is "In the Mood"

Attended another great band concert last night, this one was for Benjamin. This picture is of the Jazz group performing first. They were followed by the 7th grade band and then the 8th grade band.

The songs that the Jazz band played were "Caravan", "Blue Trane", and "In the Mood". I hadn't heard Benjamin play this song before, but once they played it, it was very familiar. It's a very popular song.

Benjamin and the 7th grade band played,"Matrix March", "Sakura", and "Calypso Bay." The 8th grade band played, "Prelude and Dance", "Superheroes R Us", and "Black Wolf Run". The "Superheroes R Us" song was pretty funny. Without the band knowing, Mr. Carlson had arranged kids from the 7th grade band to dress up as the superheroes they were playing about - it was comical. They had Superman, James Bond, Batman and Robin, and Austin Powers. The person who played Austin Powers was Ethan Kinnear. We sat near Ethan's mom and she had no idea her son was going to be dressed up like someone else during the concert. It was funny to see how shocked she was at seeing her son. He's a great kid!

It sure is fun to watch my Benjamin play and listen to his music. I'm so proud of what he can do.
