Sounds of the Season

Carter had his first band concert ever today. It was a combination of Christmas songs and several pieces they've learned over the past two months. It was pretty impressive -- especially considering none of these kids have played before this fall.

Due to his "switch-hitting" capabilities -- that's what his band director called it -- Carter played the three-fourth's size tuba for three songs and the trumpet for the rest.

In the video, the song is "Are You Sleeping" (played in a round). I'm pretty sure you can make out the low tuba sound! But the instrument is so big, you don't see much of Carter.

Nice concert! Oh how I love the sounds of the season!
